Our First Fire Truck Returns Home

 

On May 6, 2008 our 1925 Ford Model TT American La France Chemical Fire Truck has returned home to the Warrington Township Fire Company No.1. This vehicle the first piece of fire apparatus the company purchased in 1925 for $2083.00. It was in service until 1955. Since then it was owned and cared for by the Penrose family here in Warrington. The Penrose Family has given the truck back to the fire company. Words can not express how grateful we are to have this piece or history back in our family. Stay tuned to see the progress of getting it cleaned up and running. We hope to get it out and to a few parades this summer. Thanks to Penrose Hallowell and Boylan's Towing for their help.

Honoring a Hero

Chief Hinkle, FF Hessler, Sr., and FF Hessler, Jr., traveled to East Franklin NJ to attend dinner and the candle light memorial service for Kevin Apuzzio. At approx. 0600 hours, April 11th, 2006, companies were dispatched to a dwelling fire with reported entrapment. PD on the scene confirmed it. 1st due Firefighters arrived with heavy smoke, made the decision to go immediately in after the victim, (as the husband had made it out and he confirmed where she was) and they entered with a handline, TIC, tools and attempted to locate that trapped victim. The victim was found. Firefighters continued to attempt the rescue and made it with her about 3’ from the front door when, at that time, the floor opened up and several Firefighters along with Firefighter Kevin Apuzzio fell into the fire-and subsequently died of his injuries following valiant attempts by those Firefighters to get him out.

Kevin's legacy lives on today and is proof that sometimes....not everyone goes home!!

ISO Rating Improves to a 4

Warrington Township Fire Company No.1 has reduced its ISO rating from a 5 to a 4. To help establish appropriate fire insurance premiums for residential and commercial properties, insurance companies need reliable, up-to-date information about a community's fire-protection services. ISO provides that information through the Public Protection Classification (PPCTM) program.
ISO collects information on municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data using our Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). We then assign a Public Protection Classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 represents exemplary public protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program doesn't meet ISO's minimum criteria. By classifying communities' ability to suppress fires, ISO helps the communities evaluate their public fire-protection services. The program provides an objective, countrywide standard that helps fire departments in planning and budgeting for facilities, equipment, and training. And by securing lower fire insurance premiums for communities with better public protection, the PPC program provides incentives and rewards for communities that choose to improve their firefighting services.

Warrington Bravest Receive Silver Certification

 

 The purpose of this program is to identify and recognize emergency service personnel whose accomplishments in training and education meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards.  The NFPA standards for Fire Service Professional Qualifications identify the minimum requirements for a person at a particular level of progression.  A person certified to one of the Fire Service Professional levels will have demonstrated competency in the knowledge and skills required to perform at a particular level.  The service that can be offered to the citizens and communities of the Commonwealth will be enhanced by the professional competency attained through this certification process. To date, over 6,000 Pennsylvania Fire Fighters have certified at one or more levels. In recognition of all fire departments that actively support the Pennsylvania Fire Service Certification Program, the FSCAC recommended that the Office of the State Fire Commissioner (OSFC) recognize them for their efforts in promoting certification.  The Participating Department Recognition Program was established in 1999 to do just that.  Any emergency service organization which has 10 % of its “active” members certified at any level is eligible for recognition by the OSFC.  Those organizations that have 50% (Bronze), 75% (Silver), or 100% (Gold) of their “active” members certified receive special recognition.  All organizations recognized receive a certificate for public display and large decals for their apparatus.
