So are the worst
This morning around 7:30am Truck 32 was dispatched on the initial assignment due to City units on another call for a reported house fire in the 1-2 box area. First arriving city units confirmed a working fire in a duplex and assigned Truck 32 to the rear. Truck 32 laddered the building, opened up a garage door, and assisted with overhaul.

Units from 32 and Rescue Fire Company #37 just cleared an accident with reported confinement. Chief 84 arrived with a vehicle on its roof and 1 patient self extricated. Crews assisted ems with moving the patient up the embankment before clearing.
Just curious, what intersection/roads and direction of travel of the overturned vehicle. Thanks

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
This is to good not to share……..the planets aligned last night for Junior FF Wolford and his Father, Deputy Chief Wolford as a memory was made that not many get to share or experience.
Last evening for the 33 Box, Junior FF Wolford responded on his first ever run on the Engine Company with his Father, Deputy Wolford as the Engine officer. To make the moment even more memorable, his first run on the Engine Company was a working fire.
Not many firefighters in the world can say their first engine run was with their Dad, let alone a working fire. Of course the moment was captured when we returned to quarters.
That's Awesome!!!
I remember my first run with my father. Definitely a great memory. Glad that you both got to have this memory together.
It’s the best feeling❤️🥺
That is awesome
Love it
Me and my oldest were on his first call together on opposite rigs.
That is a special thing for sure. I had that privilege as well with my son. Now its 13 years later and he's been a career man for 12 years.
Awesome! 👏
I can say the same! I was lucky enough to grow up Riding behind my father !!!
❤️❤️❤️
I remember as a probie with 32 my first fire was with capt wolford at the time. Strong work brothers
Be safe Collin!
There was no greater honor, than riding next to my father on a call. Didn’t matter if it was him driving, and me up front, or riding back step, to a fire, or the fourth false alarm of the day. Treasured moments for sure. Benny Wolford, you get it my friend! Keep it up!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!!! 😩😭 How is he so grown up already!!!!
My first knob time on a "fire" was with Kevin Basehore pumping for me
That's awsome.
That coat on the Chief looks a little on the long side
Chief make sure you always try to get pictures together….. trust me I wish I had ……
Always “train” your relief.

**Double Pull to 33 House Fire**
Last evening Engine and Truck 32 were dispatched to a 33-8 box for a reported fire in an attached garage. Lower Paxton Police arrived and confirmed a working fire. Truck 32 arrived with fire showing from the 1st floor and began a search while the can man ensured the door between the garage and house held preventing fire spread. Engine 34-1 (Paxtonia 34 Fire Company) arrived and stretched lines and began fire suppression with Engine 33 (Colonial Park Fire Co. #1 picking up the supply line.
Engine 32 arrived as the 4th due Engine securing the secondary water supply and stretched a back up line to the rear and eventually the floor above the fire and found extension on the 2nd floor. Chief 32-2 had the command with Chief 33-1 joining as the aid in the buggy.
