Bensalem Township Awards Night (9-17-09)

On September 17 2009 members of the Bensalem Township Emergency Services were recognized at an Awards Night.  Eight members of the NFD received Official Commendations from Bensalem Township and Citations from Bensalem EMS for their actions on the night of January 18, 2008 at the Philadelphia Park Casino.  A vehicle went out of control striking numerous pedestrians in the valet pickup area of the  Casino.  Engine 65 assisted the Medic units with patient care and extricated one patient that was trapped under the vehicle. The actions of Chief Ron Harris, Deputy Chief Robert Sponheimer, Lt. Alan Welsh Sr., Lt. David Marshall, FF Fred Sponheimer Jr., FF/EMT Jason Harris, FF/EMT Jim Fox, and FF Mark Pachucki significantly reduced the time it took to mitigate the emergency.  Their actions reflect great credit on themselves and the Nottingham Fire Department.
