Recently, members of Mechanicsville Hose Company #1 visited surrounding cemeteries where our past members are laid to rest to proudly replace and refresh their American flags in preparation for Memorial Day weekend. 🇺🇸

This small act serves as a reminder that the dedication, sacrifice, and service of those who came before us will never be forgotten.

We proudly honor and thank all former members, veterans, and active members of our Armed Forces for the sacrifices they have made — and continue to make every day — to keep our communities, our country, and our freedoms safe.

May we never forget those who served and those who gave everything for our nation. ❤️🤍💙

Our thoughts are with the men and women of the Camden Fire Department and all those affected by today’s water rescue incident on the Delaware River.

In moments like this, the fire service stands united. We are here to support Camden Fire in any way needed in the days ahead.

When one department faces hardship, we face it together as one fire service family.
