Sometimes when you make a friendly wager on the softball field you have to pay up. On Thurs, 6/11, UGFD Station 80 did just that. With mops and sponges on hand, the members of UGFD came to Station 76-A to 'help' clean up E76-3. We really appreciate your hard work UGFD and we'll see you again on the softball diamond!!!

Trash collectors saw fire at 1935 Breman Rd. and called it in. FM55 was first on scene with heavy fire and smoke on the B/C sides of a SFD. E76-1 arrived on scene and went in service with a 1-3/4" handline. Ladder 17 arrived and placed the ladder in service. E76 established water supply with other arriving TVFC units for manpower and equipment. In a little over an hour the fire was under control. Additional mutual aid from Telford, Souderton-Perseverance, North Penn and North Penn Goodwill. Photos courtesy of FM55 and FM59

On Wednesday evening, TVFC officially housed our new engine, Engine 76, the newly restored Engine 76-4 and the two (2) Expeditions; Chief 76 and Special Services. Festivities included an Irish dancing demonstration, a martial arts demonstration by White Eagle Martial Arts as well as speakers including state senator Rob Wonderling and state representative Kate Harper as well as members of the Towamencin Township Board of Supervisors. More Photos to be added shortly on the Photo Gallery Page!

Earlier this year, TVFC auctioned off a fire truck ride at Walton Farm.  The winners recently got their ride.  From the winner: "Thanks so much for making Megan & Tyler's trip on the firetruck so memorable!  They really enjoyed it.  You and your team made the day very special for them and I really appreciate it!  Attached are some photos to share."

TVFC participated in the 2009 DUI Re-enactment at North Penn High School with Towamencin Police Dept, Hatfield Police Dept, Volunteer Medical Services Corp, PennStar and the Assistant District Attorney of Montgomery County.

During early evening rush hour, 76 and Squad 80 were dispatched to a multi-vehicle accident on Allentown Rd. Call was reduced to just 76, vehicles and scene were secured.

Rescue 76 was dispatched to assist Station 83 on an accident with injuries on Wentz Church Road. Crews from 83 and 76 extricated the patient from the vehicle by removing the roof of the car. Photos courtesy of M. Waldron, 76

Engine 76 responded on its first call this morning, 16 minutes after being placed into service. At 816 AM Station 76 was dispatched to cover for Station 89 (Harleysville), who were tied up on a crash. Engine 76 went enroute with a full crew of 6 to a fire alarm activation on Jacobs Circle, Lower Salford Township. The crew of the "Maiden Voyage" included Jason Adams, Doc Ed Horvath, Greg Johns, Kenny Watts, Driver Erich Greiner and the Chief as the OIC. The alarm appeared to be a malfunction and the Deputy made the company available shortly thereafter.

On Saturday evening, 76 and 33 were called out on the Turnpike for an accident with injuries. Upon arrival the driver was safely out of the car and 76 and 33 units stood by until the accident was cleared.
