Oakmont Fire Company is with Manoa Fire Company – Station 56 and Llanerch Volunteer Fire Company.
Today crews from the HTBF took time from their weekend and participated in a set of drills to refresh and enhance their skills in fire suppression, roof ventilation, and forceable entry. Our success on the fire grounds is a direct result of the time and commitment put in the dedicated volunteers of the township fire companies.

Tonight members and their families gathered to pay their respects to the 343 firefighters, 8 Paramedics/EMTs, 23 police officers, and 37 port authority officers that paid the ultimate sacrifice on this fateful day 23 years ago.
On this day, we pause to remember the lives lost and the heroes who emerged on September 11, 2001. The tragedy forever changed our nation, but it also showed the world our strength, resilience, and compassion. We honor the memory of those we lost and express our deepest gratitude to the first responders and all who came together in the face of adversity. Let us never forget their courage and the enduring spirit of unity that followed.

At approximately 7 o’clock this morning the Oakmont Fire Company was dispatched to Katz Pharmacy for the accident with entrapment with a vehicle possibly on fire. The assignment was quickly scaled back due to no entrapment, no fire and minor injuries. Crews assisted with securing the property and vehicles. The Ladder & Squad were available a short time later.
We extend our deepest condolences and unwavering support to the Llanerch Volunteer Fire Company and the Sauder family during this challenging time. The passing of past Chief Harry Sauder is a profound loss, and our thoughts are with you as you navigate through this difficult period.
Come join Haverford Township Police, Narberth Ambulance, all five Haverford Township fire companies, and many other supporting agencies for National Night Out.

Oakmont Fire Company would once again like to thank Troop 19 Eagle Scout Ian Taylor for his time and dedication in making this flag retirement box. We are proud to announce that it has been placed at the front of our station, between the door and the fallen firefighter memorial.
Recently, Oakmont Fire Company and Brookline Fire Company each received a flag retirement box from Troop 19 Eagle Scout Ian Taylor. These handmade boxes will provide two new locations for members of our community to properly dispose of any worn, torn, or damaged American flags. We thank Ian for his hard work and dedication to the community. The box at our station will be installed in its permanent location very shortly.
Your presence made it a fantastic event. Congratulations to all the participants in the races – you were all amazing and we hope you enjoyed the festivities as much as we did. Looking forward to seeing you next year!
Parade will start at 11 am. We hope to see you all on the 4th!
