At the end of 2018 members of LSFD decided to purchase a new Rescue-Engine after a yearlong process of specking out a new piece of apparatus. This new truck will replace the 2002 Rescue which was sold earlier this year.
We would like to share this process with you as we watch our new truck being built.
The new Rescue-Engine will be multi functional and will be able to handle Engine and Rescue functions as needed.

Last evening LSFD, Feasterville Fire Company and Tri Hampton Rescue squad attended the 2nd Friday event at Playwicki Farm. It was great to see everyone in the community come together for this great event. Lower Southampton is a great community to live in and we are proud to serve as the emergency responders. Remember we are always looking for volunteers so stop in and see how you can fit in.
SEE YOU OUT THERE!

This morning LSFD members awoken to the sound of their pagers to respond with the Trevose Fire Company and Feasterville Fire Company for a reported House fire. Engine 6 responded and the crew assisted with overhaul operations. Upon completion of assisting at the fire the Engine proceeded to the Playwicki Farm to stand-by for the annual flag burning ceremony which is put on by the Lower Southampton Veterans Advisory Board and the Boy Scouts.
When disposing of your American flag please do so by taking them to the Township building where there is a box for their disposal. Lastly we returned to Tri Hampton Rescue squad moving into our station as a temporary home.

Today LSFD welcomes our brothers and sisters from the Tri Hampton Rescue Squad as they moved into our station during the rebuilding of their new squad quarters. This is where they started and we graciously welcome them back during their time of need in order to continue to provide EMS services to our community. Mission accomplished without skipping a beat.

LSFD is at the Neshaminy High School Graduation Ceremony in support of LSFD Firefighter Joseph Schneider and all the 2019 Graduates. Best of luck Joe and the entire NHS class of 2019.
