The State Fire Commissioner has recognized Rose Tree Fire Company No. 1 as a Participating Fire Department of the Pennsylvania Fire Service Certification Program. This program was established in 1983 when a committee known as the Fire Service Certification Advisory Committee (FSCAC) was formed to explore the implementation of a voluntary certification program for firefighters. The purpose of this program is to identify and recognize emergency service personnel whose accomplishments in training and education meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards. The NFPA standards for Fire Service Professional Qualifications identify the minimum requirements for a person at a particular level of progression. A person certified to one of the Fire Service Professional levels will have demonstrated competency in the knowledge and skills required to perform at a particular level. The safety and service to the citizens and visitors of Upper Providence Township, surrounding communities and the entire Commonwealth will be enhanced by the professional competency attained through this certification process.
Decals are proudly displayed on the apparatus signifying this accomplishment.

At 13:10 hours, Rose Tree Fire Company was dispatched along with Ambulance 23 (Media Fire Company), Medic 23 and Medic 104-7D (Riddle Memorial Hospital) for an accident on the Route 1 Media By-Pass involving a vehicle down the embankment with two subjects ejected.
While enroute to the call, 73-9A (Asst. Chief Brown) had a helicopter put on stand-by. 104-9 (Riddle Hospital Paramedic Chief Laws) went on location and confirmed a vehicle off the highway and down an embankment. Two subjects were out of the vehicle. Medics used a rope to assist them down to assess the patients. Medics determined that the injuries did not require helicopter transport and the helicopter stand-by was cancelled
Rescue 73 arrived and used ground ladders to assist medics to get the patients back up to the highway. Rescue 73 and Engine 73 remained on location while a tow service secured the vehicle and a tree company stump grinding trailer back to the highway.
