Remember sitting in the station and listening to his World War 1 stories about being in the Navy. Him and his friend Freddy Weber were a wealth of information.

RIP Hero

Today we pause to remember the following members who each suffered and died as a result of a fire and multiple explosions that occurred at the Sun Oil Company in Marcus Hook Borough on this date, October 3rd, back in 1946.

Nick Barnett - Marcus Hook Borough Fire Chief, Transported to the Hospital with serious injuries and burns, died several hours later.

Glen Jones, 32 - Plant Operator and Deputy Chief of the Linwood Fire Company. Died on scene.

Vincent Keelan, 39 - Firefighter. Died on scene.

William Ward, 20 - Firefighter, Linwood Fire Company. Died on scene.

More than 200 people were injured and or killed as a result of this incident. Many of those injured were firefighters from surrounding departments, some even died days later.

During the incident, an announcement was made at the Pennsylvania State Fireman's Convention, for all of Delaware County's Firemen to return to help battle the incident. Reports indicate that the PA State Police conducted a caravan to escort the attendees back to DelCo ASAP.

Poor records of the day have made it hard for us to confirm additional Fire & EMS Service Line of Duty Death's but we continue to research. ... See MoreSee Less
