The Jefferson Fire Company would like to extend a belated congratulations to the fire company personnel who participated in last month’s American Lung Association Fight for Air Climb. The climb was held on March 19, at 3 Logan Square in Philadelphia. Participants obtained sponsorship and raced to climb 50 flights of stairs in the skyscraper to raise money for the American Lung Association. The event raised $139,401.17 for the American Lung Association (JFC participants raised $1,010.00). Below are the results for those personnel who participated in the race.

Fire Co. Responds to Trent Manor for Major Fire
Posted: February 17, 2011 @ 9:21 AM by brussell
On the afternoon of February 15, shortly after 2 PM, Montgomery County Radio received numerous 911 calls for smoke and fire coming from a condo unit in Trent Manor. Fire apparatus from Jefferson (46) and Lower Providence (53) were first on the scene with heavy fire showing. Because of the extent of fire upon arrival, fire units focused initially on saving neighboring exposures and preventing the fire from consuming the entire row of condos. Additional fire units from Norriton (61), Norristown (27), and King of Prussia (47) were also dispatched to the scene to assist. Plymouth Ambulance (308) and West Norriton PD were also on the scene initially. As the companies worked to get the fire under control, it was determined that there was most likely someone in the structure at the time of the fire. As a result, Montgomery County Detectives and the State Police Fire Marshal were also requested to the scene for an investigation. One person and several dogs were killed in the blaze. Fire units did not clear the scene until approximately 9PM.
