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.
A crew from Rose Tree Fire Company recently attended the annual Strawberry Festival at Rose Tree Elementary School. The festival is an annual fund raising event sponsored by the school Parent - Teachers Group. There were plenty of fun games, food and prizes for the kids.
Quint 73 was on display and the crew proudly displayed the apparatus, our equipment, allowed kids to sit on the truck and also set up a fire hose for the kids to operate. This was also a good opportunity for parents to receive fire safety information and to learn more about THEIR all volunteer fire company.
A contest was held for the kids. There was a checklist that was completed. After the checklist was finished, a random drawing was held for a number of lucky students to get a ride to school on a fire truck.
