Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23

4 days ago

On August 25 at approximately 0115 hours, Media Fire Company No. 1 (Company 23), along with mutual aid companies, was dispatched to 210 East Jefferson Street for a reported commercial building fire.

Engine 23 and Engine 50 arrived simultaneously and found an active fire involving a first-floor apartment. Engine 50 stretched a hoseline from Side A, while the crew from Engine 23 utilized water extinguishers to knock down the fire.

Crews from Rose Tree and Springfield assisted with a search of the building to ensure all occupants had safely evacuated.

The fire was placed under control within approximately ten minutes of the first-arriving units.

Deputy Chief J. Moore had command of the incident.

At this time, there are no photographs available from the incident, as the fire remains under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police Fire Marshal.

Any photographs or images currently being posted or shared in connection with this incident were not approved or released by the Media Fire Company, Media Police Department, or Pennsylvania State Police.

We ask that the public refrain from sharing unverified images or information while the investigation remains ongoing. Additional information will be released when appropriate and as permitted by the investigating authorities.

We would like to thank all of our mutual aid partners for their assistance.

Media Fire Hook and Ladder #1 - Station 23

2 weeks ago

On September 11, 2001, our nation was forever changed.

We remember the 343 members of the FDNY, the 23 NYPD officers, the 37 Port Authority officers, and all of the brave first responders and civilians who lost their lives that day.

We remember the firefighters who ran toward the danger while others were running away. We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the families and brothers and sisters left behind.

25 years later, their sacrifice continues to remind us of the responsibility we carry every time we answer the call.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. ... See MoreSee Less
