Today, Ambulance 34-7 and crew stood by while members of the HTPD ERT Team, SEPTA CORT, DelCo CID Bomb Squad, the DelCo Sherrif's Office, and the DelCo District Attorny's Office trained at Merwood Park. The training exercise simulated an explosive devise on a SEPTA vehicle. 34-7's roll was to be on-hand in the event any members were injured; thankfully the drill went off without a hitch. Pictured above is Ambulance 34-7 next to the DelCo Communications Mobile Command Center.

The Board, Officers, and Crew would like to take this time to remember all those who lost their lives at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania during the terrorist attacks on our Country on 9-11-01. We hold a special place in our heart for our 343 Brothers from the FDNY who paid the ultimate sacrifice. We would also like to take this time to remember members of the LFC Family who are currently serving in the Armed Forces to protect our freedom: John Leonard (US Army), Joe Hayden (US Navy), Tom Daniels (US Army), Jay Rozmus (US Coast Guard), and Rick Cowling (US Army). You are always in our thoughts and prayers, Stay Safe.

| FIRE AT THE QUARRY |
| Date: |
9/10/2007 |
At approx. 8:45 hrs, the LFC was dispatched to the Llanerch Quarry for a possible vehicle fire. E34 arrived on location to find a 1 story pump house well involved at the rear of the property. Lt. Maturo established Command and asked for the upgrade, bringing in Station 35 (Brookline), and Rescue 58 (Bon Air). Ladder 35 took the high ground at the corner of Prospect and Joanna Aves. while E34 and R58 entered from the Township Line entrance. FM-1 arrived on location and called for E38 (Oakmont) to assist with manpower. Ladder 35 utilized their master stream as the building was considered a loss. Crews wet down the surrounding grounds to prevent any further extension to the trees and brush. Spill 35 was called in to protect the waterway from any possible spilled materials by deploying oil-absorbing booms. 34-8 was brought in as well to assist with rehab and hydrating the crews. Crews picked up and returned to quarters after approximately 2 hours.
