Today, we proudly recognize two of our own, Lieutenant Taylor Turchick and Firefighter Christopher Willever, for taking on the steps at Max Fitness in full firefighter gear to honor the heroes and victims of September 11, 2001.

Every step they took represents the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the firefighters and first responders who climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center that morning — running toward danger while others were trying to escape.

343 FDNY firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice that day, along with countless other first responders and innocent lives.

Thank you to Max Fitness for organizing this tribute and giving our members the opportunity to honor those who gave everything.

Never Forget 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 HONORING 9/11 — NEVER FORGET

Today, two of our members, Taylor Turchick & Christopher Willever, took on the steps wearing full firefighter gear in remembrance of September 11, 2001.

Every step represents something far greater than a workout.

On 9/11, firefighters and first responders climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center carrying heavy equipment, heading toward danger while helping others escape to safety. Many never made it back home.

Today’s climb was about honoring their courage, sacrifice and service.

343 FDNY firefighters lost their lives that day, along with members of law enforcement, EMS and thousands of innocent people.

We remember those who were lost.
We honor those who ran toward danger.
We recognize the first responders who continue to serve their communities every day.

A huge amount of respect to Taylor Turchick & Christopher Willever for putting on the full gear and taking every one of those steps today. 🇺🇸🚒

September 11, 2001 — Never Forget.
Honor the fallen. Remember the heroes.

25 years later, we remember the lives that were taken, the families who were forever changed, and the heroes who answered the call without hesitation.

We honor the 343 members of the FDNY who made the ultimate sacrifice, along with the police officers, EMS personnel, military members, and countless civilians who lost their lives that day.

Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

Today, we remember.
Today, we honor.
Today, we stand together.

Never Forget. 🇺🇸

🚨 AUTO EXTRICATION 🚨

On Friday evening at approximately 6:17 PM, Engine 36 was dispatched for a two-vehicle accident at Richlandtown Pike and California Road.

Assistant 36 arrived on scene to find one vehicle off the roadway and a tanker truck carrying dry cement off to the side of the roadway. Richlandtown Command was established, and multiple fire police companies were requested to assist with securing the roadway and maintaining scene safety.

Upon arrival, Engine 36 crews immediately went to work on the passenger vehicle. Crews removed both doors and completed a dash push, safely extricating the patient from the vehicle for EMS to transport.

Crews from Richland Township Fire & Rescue and Quakertown Fire Company Number 1 assisted securing the involved vehicles, mitigating hazards, and clearing debris from the roadway in preparation for Grant’s Towing. Kirk’s Towing was also requested to assist with the recovery of the tanker truck.

Fire crews remained on scene for approximately 90 minutes before clearing the incident.

Fire police remained on scene for an additional two hours, maintaining traffic control and scene safety while the tow companies completed their work and the roadway was cleared before returning to station.

A sincere THANK YOU to all of the mutual aid companies, fire police, EMS, and towing crews who came out to assist us. Incidents like this are a great reminder of how important mutual aid is to our community.

Special thank you to the fire police:
