To help local officials, first responders, organizations, and individuals with the grants and appropriations processes, Congressman Sestak is hosting a series of meetings around the District. One of these sessions is open to firefighters, police, EMTs, and other first responders and will be held:        
 

Tuesday, January 26th, 6:30pm-8:30pm
Manoa Fire Company
115 S Eagle Road
Havertown, PA 19083

At this meeting, will be a panel to discuss various state and federal resources available to first responders. They will take your questions, and offer ways our office can assist you to find, apply for, and secure funding. 
Those interested in attending one of the above sessions should pre-register by January 15th by emailing \n PA07Events@mail.house.gov .

Liberty Mutual Insurance understands fire safety is everyone's responsibility.  That's why they support and celebrate the fire fighting community in any way they can.  This fall, they are helping to teach families about fire safety and provide a means to give back to your Firefighters, your local heroes.
Havertown residents and Firefighters can help Manoa Fire Company win a $10,000 grant, by visiting http://www.befiresmart.com/firefighters/  and taking a brief quiz on home fire safety.  Each completed quiz counts for one point which you can credit to Manoa Fire Company, and the 10 U.S. departments with the most community participation will earn $10,000 grants.
 
Havertown residents can help your Manoa Firefighters by rallying family, friends, and colleagues to go online and participate in the Liberty Mutual BeFireSmart Fire Safety Pledge program. The grant period will stay open until December 21, 2009, and winning departments will be announced in January, 2010.

At just after  2:30am Companies Company 34, Engine 35, and Rescue 58 were dispatched to the 100 block of Juniper Road  for the dwelling fire. HTPD arrived  and reported heavy smoke conditions and that all occupants were out and accounted for. 34-9 arrived and assumed command. 34-9 added Engine 38 for the RIT. Engine-35 dropped a 5" in  line to the scene and supplied 34-2. Crews from 34, and Rescue 58 led off with an 1-3/4 line and quickly backed it up with a 2nd line. RIT 38's crew was put into service with suppression and overhaul duties, thus 34-9 added Engine 56 for the RIT and Rescue 56 for manpower. Heavy smoke was pushing from throughout the bldg. Fire was found in the rear bedroom. A quick knock was put on the fire with some extensive overhaul to be done. Thanks to Brian Feeney for the pictures.
 

At around 10pm Companies 56, 53, and 15 were dispatched to I-476 norhtbound for a MVA with possible entrapment. 53-9b arrived on location with a 2 vehicle accident and no entrapment. The assignment was held to Squad 56 and Rescue 56. Crews contained the fluids on the highway and stood by with the State Police until the flatbed arrived.

It is with deepest regret that the Manoa Fire Company announces the untimely death of Board of Director Joseph Coll. Mr. Coll was the founder of the Manoa Fire Company Grant Committee. Since the grant committee was formed we were successful in receiving 3 FEMA assistance Fire Grants for equipment to improve firefighter safety and service to the residents. With out the help of Mr. Coll we may have never received this type of funding for our state of the art equipment. Mr. Coll is also the father of our current Captain Andrew Coll. The Officers, Members, and Board of Directors wish our deepest sympathy to the entire Coll Family. 
The arrangements are as follows:
