[Truck4 48]

Firefighter Michael Reagon passed away 9-28-07 from injuries sustained at a fire on 9-26-07. From Landsdowne Fire Co. website:

"Friday, September 28, 2007- Wednesday, September 26 at 22:55 Sharon Hill Pa. Station 09 (Sharon Hill) 01 (Folcroft)& 05 (Glenolden) were dispatched to the 900 block of Coates for a detached garage fire. First due Engine 09 on arrival report well involved and went into service for the knock down. Chief 09 arrived minutes after and established command. Within minutes of the bulk of the fire being knocked down the front wall of the stone and frame building collapsed trapping three 09 firefighters. Chief 09 Bill Benecke immediately called for Rescue 19 (Lansdowne) for the RIT team, 3 ALS units & 3 BLS units to the scene. Second alarm was stuck moments later bringing 04 (Darby) 06 & 42 (Collingdale) to the scene for additional help. A Pennstar Heli was also dispatched to the scene. As of this morning two Sharon Hill members we released as well as two Police officers. A nineteen year old Sharon Hill Fire Fighter remains in critical condition at the time of the report. His name withheld at the request of Station 09 at the present time. We ask everyone to keep this young firefighter in our prayers and thoughts for a speedy recovery and remind everyone there are NO routine calls."

This is the 2nd of 2 serious "firefighters trapped" incidents here in Delaware County, PA in the past 6 weeks. This was an exterior attack on a detached garage when a partial collapse trapped 3 firefighters. The entire incident unfolded before the first 20 minute mark. May FF Regan Rest In Peace.
