Special Fire Police continued:

The Fort Washington Fire Company has two tiers of Special Fire Police Officers; first and second line.  First Line Fire Police are those people who function solely in the Fire Police capacity.  Second Line refers to those people who serve both as Fire Fighters as well as Fire Police Officers. 

The primary role of the Special Fire Police is to regulate traffic and keep crowds under control at or in the vicinity of any fire or emergency.  They also serve in a similar role at community events.  The Special Fire Police are provided with police powers by Pennsylvania statute to perform these duties. 

We are always seeking volunteers to assist us in these tasks.  If you are interested you can contact David Levy at DFL@DDWIN.COM or call him at 215-843-2900. 

David Levy joined the Fort Washington Fire Company in 2000.  He currently serves as a Lieutenant for the Fire Police.  He is the proprietor of Software Maintenance, Inc (www.smiweb.net).
