Busy Weekend of Community Service

Occasionally Flourtown Fire Company’s volunteers are asked to “bring out a fire truck” to community events and we’re more than happy to when our training schedule and schedules of our volunteers cooperate. The weekend of September 8 and 9, 2012 was no different with the fire company asked to attend three community events with a fire truck available for children and “children at heart” to explore.

On Saturday we were asked to stop by several block parties, including one on College Avenue, and a charity walk at Fort Washington State Park along W. Mill Road. On Sunday, we again took part in Community Day at Cisco Park, where it seems the entire township and its many charitable organizations and businesses come together for fun, food and fellowship.

Senior Year Project

Probationary Firefighter, Greg Fasold spent the better part of the 2011-2012 school year work on his high school senior project.  This video is the culmination of the time and dedication he has spent working on this project, and the time spent with the Flourtown Fire Company learning about all of the different facets of the fire service and the brotherhood of being a firefighter.

In addition to working on this video, Greg also helped gather information that aids the Flourtown Fire Company in developing pre-plans for commercial structures, which is helpful when emergencies happen.  As well as maintenance of firefighting equipment, and administrative work around the firehouse.

The Flourtown Fire Company would like to congratulate Greg on his efforts, and the success of his project.  We also wish Greg good luck as he graduates as a member of the Springfield High School Class of 2012 and begins his college career!
