☀️ Beautiful weather means it's a great day for some fleet maintenance!

Today, A Platoon at our Bryn Athyn station is taking advantage of the sunshine by ensuring our entire fleet is clean, inspected, and ready to respond when our community needs us.

While emergency calls are always our top priority, there are often periods of downtime between responses. Just like at home, the firehouse requires constant upkeep. Our crews spend that time completing daily chores such as cleaning, mopping, doing laundry, stocking equipment, and washing apparatus.

Keeping our vehicles clean is about more than appearance. Regular cleaning allows firefighters and EMS personnel to identify potential maintenance issues, protect valuable equipment from wear and corrosion, and ensure every apparatus is response-ready 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Whether we're responding to a fire, medical emergency, rescue, or public service call, our goal is the same: to provide the highest level of service to our community. Today's work helps ensure we're ready for tomorrow's emergency.

🚒🚑 Thank you to our dedicated members for their commitment both on and off the emergency scene!

Great job, A Platoon!

Yesterday, a resident of Lower Moreland Township stopped by our Bryn Athyn station with two defective smoke detectors. Members of our A Platoon responded to the resident's home, removed the faulty units, and installed two new smoke detectors that were provided by Fetters Mill Fire Rescue.

This is just one example of the many community safety services our members provide beyond emergency response. Working smoke detectors are one of the most important tools for protecting your family and providing early warning in the event of a fire.

We are proud to serve our community and help keep our residents safe, one home at a time.

If you have questions about smoke detector placement, testing, or home fire safety, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Yesterday, the Montgomery County Commissioners formally honored the seventeen 9-1-1 EMS squads that serve communities across the county through an official proclamation recognizing their dedication, professionalism, and service.

Representing the Montgomery County Ambulance Association, executive officers were present for the recognition, including our own Bryn Athyn station Chief Kenneth Schauder, who serves as Secretary of the Association.

Fetters Mill Fire Rescue is proud to stand alongside our partner agencies in this system of care. Every day, these 9-1-1 squads answer the call without hesitation—providing critical prehospital care, comfort in crisis, and a lifeline when it matters most.

We extend our appreciation to the Montgomery County Commissioners for acknowledging the vital work being done by EMS professionals throughout the county, and to all of the squads represented for their unwavering commitment to our residents.

Great job, FF/EMT Ruddell!

"On arrival, position with intention. If the placement isn’t right, move it. The truck has wheels—use them."

We love supporting our community, just as much as our community supports us. Crews on duty participated in a Car Wash Fundraiser for the PTA at Lower Moreland High School. They did an excellent job and the ambulance looked great! Thank you so much!
