Today, we remember Chief Cris Hansen and his lasting impact on Swarthmore. This is a solemn day for all of us who knew and served alongside Cris. He was not only a dedicated firefighter and respected Chief here in Swarthmore—he was a true mentor, leader, and friend.

Did you know? Back in the early 1800s, Molly Williams became the first known female firefighter in the U.S., proving that bravery knows no gender! We’re proud that 30% of our volunteers at the Swarthmore Fire & Protective Association (SF&PA) are women, stepping up as firefighters and EMTs! Their commitment to protecting lives, supporting those in need, and leading in crisis situations is a testament to the strength and resilience of women in this field. Emergency response is for everyone. Every person deserves the opportunity to serve, lead, and make a difference—because safety, courage, and skill are not defined by gender. To all the women who volunteer in emergency response (and especially at SF&PA): THANK YOU! Your service, dedication, and leadership inspire the next generation. Keep breaking barriers, answering the call, and making history! #forallwomenandgirls #internationalwomensday

Swarthmore Fire, always there when it matters most. Train hard, train often. #mondaymotivations

The members of SF&PA had a great time with the students of SHMS during today’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. The students cleaned all of our fire apparatus and ambulances, inside and out. Once the students finished their service they learned hands only CPR, how to control bleeding using tourniquets, and practiced fire suppression using fire extinguishers and our fire training device. It’s always a pleasure having the SHMS students here for the day of service! A huge thank you to our Crozer Paramedics for joining us and teaching the students critical life-saving skills!
