At 8:15 pm Thanksgiving evening, Rescue 57
and Engine 574 responded to assist Willow
Street FC on a garage fire on Snyder Hollow
Road in Providence Township. Units arrived
with two-bay garage fully involved with fire
spreading to the woods.
The QFD crews assisted with the woods fire
and overhaul on the garage. The Company

At 10:30 am Sunday, Truck 57 with a crew of 5 responded to assist York County Airville FC on a house fire on River Toad in Lower Chanceford Township. Units arrived to find a fire that was most likely caused by an electrical issue. A tree had fallen on and brought down wires.
The Truck crew had to take ladders and tools through the woods around the hot wires, and assisted in the 1st floor and basement containing the fire in the floor area. Once the power was disconnected, final overhaul was completed.
The Truck was in service 2 hours. Thanks to Tom 
Amico for some of the photos.
At 12:29 pm Sunday, QFD and mutual aid from Union FC and Bart Township FC were alerted for a house fire on Woodside Drive in Colerain Township. While responding, LCWC advised of multiple 911 calls indicating a working fire.
Lt. 572 arrived and confirmed a one-story modular with a walk-out basement with fire through the roof.
Engine 574 stretched a line to the front door and began fire attack with Engine 21-2. Tanker 57 was the nurse tanker and supplied the scene. Truck 57 backed in from Kirkwood Pike and the crew assisted with opening up. Additional units worked on fire attack, water supply or RIT.
The incident was placed under control by Deputy 57 at 1:05 pm with companies remaining on scene doing salvage and overhaul until 2:45 pm.
QFD and mutual aid fire police controlled traffic in the area, and the QFD Special Division provided drinks and snacks. Gap FC Engine 421 and Christiana FC Tanker 52 covered our station.
Please keep the family involved in your thoughts as 
they lost a lot of their possessions.
Thank you for your service to our nation !!!

Congratulations to Firefighters Ryan Welk, Ryan “Big Country” Slauch, Allison Herr and Dallas Talsma for completing Basic Firefighting at the Delaware State Fire School. These members dedicated the last 3 weekends to starting to build their training knowledge and experience. They all took off work and time with family to better themselves, our company and our community.
Now it’s time to put all those skills to work !
QFD members have attended DSFS for over 30 years and have gotten some really great training and super fun memories. Come join our team and you can do this to.
