 <![CDATA[On Thursday March 28th,during the monthly fire company business meeting, Swedeland Fire Company Deputy Chief Chris Camarda presented our members with a unit citation from an incident on the Schuylkill Expressway last summer. The incident occurred on September 5, 2012 on I-76 at the Gulph Mills exit in station 48&amp;rsquo;s local district. Squad 48 arrived to find a box-style truck that drove down an embankment and required the extrication of two patients over rough and steep terrain. KPVFC crews assisted the Swedeland firefighters with the difficult and unordinary incident, and therefore, were commended by Chief Camarda for their assistance. A copy of the unit citation is attached, along with a picture from the incident, and also a link to the prior story on our website of the incident.

 	<title>Hands-On Training</title>
  	<category>News</category>

 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[On Monday, February 11th, and Tuesday, February 12th, the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company hosted &nbsp;hands-on training at the Valley Forge Shopping Center on Route 202. Due to a large portion being demolished for the construction of a new Target store, it provided a rare chance for firefighters to practice their skills on realistic props. On Monday, the KPVFC, Swedeland Fire Company, and Swedesburg Fire Company participated in three different skill stations that included forcible entry with the pry bar and axe, cutting the roof for vertical ventilation, and forcible entry using &amp;ldquo;through the lock&amp;rdquo; techniques as well as the circular saw. The crews worked at the old Sleepy&amp;rsquo;s and Steve&amp;rsquo;s Sewing store.
On Tuesday, the Bridgeport fire companies were invited and participated in three different skill stations. They included rescuing a downed firefighter from inside a commercial building, forcible entry using the pry bar and axe, master stream hose evolutions, and more practice with the circular saw. Between both nights and the time to prepare it required nearly eight hours of time commitment from the KPVFC members. In all, important lessons were learned and skills were improved. A special thanks goes to former KPVFC Chief and current Upper Merion Township Deputy Fire Marshal Bill Daywalt for helping coordinate with the owners and contractors of the shopping center to make the training a reality....]]>

 	<title>KPVFC Partners With 6abc</title>
  	<category>News</category>
 <link>http://www.kpvfc.com/news/fullstory/newsid/182072</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[On
January 31st, representatives of the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire
Company, along with 170 other fire companies from the tri-state area teamed up
with Action News for the 21st annual Operation 6ABC Save-A-Life.

The
annual event has Action news teaming up with firefighters from across the
Delaware Valley in an effort to spread fire safety information and prevent fire
deaths.

Lieutenant
Vince DiSanto and Firefighter Bob Smull attended the event at the Philadelphia
Fire Academy that was hosted by 6abcâs Karen Rogers and received King of
Prussiaâs allotment of the free smoke detectors given out to the various
departments.&nbsp; The smoke detectors were
part of a total of 7,200 donated by Kidde Fire protection.

"Fire spreads
quickly, but what a smoke detector does is help you be alerted in the early
stages of a fire so that you do have time to get out. You have time to help
your family get out, and hopefully you have an escape plan so that everyone
gets out safely to a meeting place," explained Philadelphia Fire Department
Chief Derrick Sawyer.

The smoke alarms that
the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company received are a sealed unit that
lasts for 10 years and will install the new smoke alarms in Upper Merion
Township homes of low income, elderly, and other residents at risk in our
respective community.

King of Prussia
Residents can call the King of Prussia Volunteer Fire Company @ 610-265-1063 or
email:&nbsp; info@kpvfc.com for information regarding how to obtain
one of the available smoke alarms....]]>
