The members of the Fort Washington Fire Company are devastated to learn about the passing of Wissahickon Fire Company Deputy Chief Jonathan Deck

Jonathan was more than just a familiar face on the fireground to our personnel. He was a leader, a trusted ally, and most importantly… a friend. His calm demeanor was reassuring, while his passion and aggressive approach to firefighting was inspiring. He was humble, yet accomplished beyond his years. Even very recently while fighting a tough battle, he could be seen on a fire scene assisting where ever he was needed. Jonathan was smart and courageous at the same time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, our partners at the Wissahickon Fire Company, and the greater Ambler community, who lost a truly great person in Jonathan Deck.
