“We don’t train till we get it right. We train until we cannot get it wrong!!”
Members from Singerly Fire Company and North East Fire Company came together on 03/19/2019 to train on firefighting skills covering MAYDAY, RIT, & FF Survival. Training included both classroom time, and hands-on time.
On a recent motor vehicle accident with rescue on I-95 an American Flag was found on the floor in the vehicle. Captain Brandon Ferguson and Firefighter Dave Barr retrieved the flag and properly folded it. Firefighter Adam Streets (not pictured) returned the flag to the occupant of the vehicle before being transported to a local hospital.

3 Firefighters Injured; Occupants escape unharmed
Singerly Fire Company along with Aetna, North East and Chesapeake City Fire Companies responded March 10, at 1235 pm to a structure fire in the 1700 block of Appleton Rd. Assistant 13 arrived to find a single family dwelling with heavy smoke showing and subsequently requested the first alarm tanker task force which brought West Grove Fire Company, Community Fire Company of Rising Sun and Union Fire Company of Oxford, Pa.
The residents escaped without injury prior to the arrival of the responding fire companies.
Initial interior crews encountered a well advanced fire which required vertical ventilation to assist the interior crews. During interior operations, 3 firefighters sustained minor injuries. One refused treatment on scene and the other two were transported to Christiana Hospital and were treated and released.
Units operated on scene for approximately 3 hours. The Office of the Maryland State Fire Marshal determined the cause to be accidental due to cooking.
Monster Energy recently dropped by Station 13 (300 Newark Ave) as part of their tour in support of area First Responders. They left behind several cases of their energy drink that really hit the spot by quenching the thirst of firefighters that had just returned from a vehicle fire. With over 5,500 EMS and 1,800 fire/rescue responses annually, a “Pick Me Up” is really appreciated.
