The Clifton Heights Fire Company has been given access to a three story building on Davis Ave for training purposes. The company will be holding drill for the next few weeks at the residence which is to be torn down. Such training exercises include hose advancement,search and rescue,overhaul,and RIT operations. The training has been a great learning experience.

Last Saturday, The Clifton Heights Fire Company collected toys for “Children Abuse Prevention Efforts” and participated in the Toy Truck Parade with four trucks.  This was the 10th year the CHFC has participated in this event.  A Great time was had by all.  A special thanks goes out to those who donated and helped out with the event.    

After responding and made available to a midnight call to Yeadon Borough, Company 03 was dispatched to a building response near the intersection of Stratford Ave and Lansdowne Ave as a working fire with heavy fire showing on first and second floors. Quint 3, 03-1, and 03-2 arrived on scene for additional man power along with placement of master streams. 03-2 made a reverse lay to 19 (Lansdowne) .  The fire was placed under control and crews then re-entered the building to extinguish numerous hot spots.  Company 03 was made available around 04:30 hours. 

The Annual Fire Company banquet was held on Saturday November 12th at the Oaks in Glenolden.  The President's Award went to Deputy Chief Nick DePompeo.  Chief Kneass presented the Junior Firefighters award to FF Joe Gearty and the Chief's award was given to Captain Dan Cuddhy. A great time was had by all who attended.

The Clifton Heights Fire Company along with surrounding companies attended a first responder emergency extrication class sponsored by Keenan's Auto.  The night class covered materials in hybrids and newer model car safety features as well as vehicle construction and air bag systems.  Hands-on demonstrations with safe extrication procedures were done using Hurst Tools.  A great time was had by all who attended.

Thank You Keenan's Auto for sponsoring this great learning/training event.

Clifton Heights Firefighters as well as EMS staff attended local day care and nursery schools to teach about fire safety.  The children enjoyed the visit as they learned important fire prevention techniques along with safe exit plans in a fire situation.  Most of the smiles came when able to operate the hose line 1"3/4 off of 03-1. 

Job well done by the crews who made this a memorable day.

The Clifton Heights Fire Company annual fire prevention open house was a success.  Smoke detectors were given out to borough residents as well as important and useful information on fire safety and prevention for both children and adults.  The Clifton Heights Police Dept. had fingerprinting available for children.  Station tours, fire apparatus including the three antiques, and a hose line for kids to try their hand were all a big hit. 

Thank you to all who attended.

The Clifton Heights Fire Company held a dedication ceremony for the newly constructed 9/11 memorial to honor those who lost their lives on that tragic day with a special meaning behind the brave 343 firefighters who passed. 

     Through the great efforts of Jerry DePompeo we were able to to acquire a piece of steel from the World Trade Center Towers which is above a replica twin tower and Pentagon base.  We would like to thank all of the members of the CHFC for their hard work and time spent on the completion and planning of the dedication.  A special thanks goes out to the memorial committee who pulled this all together.  Many man hours were put in to give this memorial a proper home in the borough of Clifton Heights as well as to be a great reminder: To Never Forget.  

      The CHFC would like to extend a generous thank you to all participants who helped in the ceremony as well as the residents who came out to support us. Thank You

This September will mark the 10th anniversary of the tragedy that occurred on September 11th, 2001. To honor all of the men and women who were lost on that day, the Clifton Heights Fire Company  will be building a 9/11 Memorial Monument. We were fortunate enough to acquire a piece of the World Trade Center steel. The steel will be placed on top of a replica "Twin Towers", they will be seated on a pentagon shaped slab of concrete, and surrounded by bricks. To help offset the cost of the Memorial, customized bricks with your personal message are available to be purchased. These personalized bricks will surround the pentagon. 

The 4" x 8" bricks are $50.00 each. They can have up 3 lines of lettering with 15 characters per line. To order pleaase call the station @ 610-623-7455 or email Joanne Middaugh @ Depomps03@aol.com
