Santa will be busy rechecking The list and has to reschedule till next Sunday 12/17. Sorry for the inconvenience and any confusion. Hopefully we’re all on the nice list and we will see you on the 17th.
We just received word from the North Pole that Santa is requesting a tour of the Oakmont section of Havertown on Sunday the 17th. We will be leaving the station around 11am. Keep an ear out for the sirens so you don’t miss a chance to say “hello” to Mr Clause. Till then we will all be waiting patiently!!
This past week, Oakmont took delivery of our brand new gym equipment. We’d like to give special thanks to both Advantage Sport and Fitness Inc. and Firefighter Matt Speers for coordinating the building and delivery of the new equipment. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Oakmont’s Board of Directors and Oakmont’s Crew Club for funding our mission of keeping members in better health.
Congratulations to Firefighter Matthew Speers on his recent engagement!
Oakmont hosted our annual July Fourth bike parade followed by refreshments and races for all ages. Thanks to all that came out for the event and made it a huge success once again. Engine 38 also made a few local stops to cool off the crowds. Stay safe and Thank you to the ones protecting our freedoms to enjoy our day.
