Last Sunday, MICU 579A, MEDIC 500, and the Garrettford-Drexel Hill Fire Co. responded to the 200 block of Burmont Rd for a person choking. The man, being home alone, ran out into the street and got the attention of a bystander. This unknown bystander recognized the man was choking and performed back blows and abdominal thrusts until EMS arrived. Paramedic Erin McCardle, EMT Jen Smith, and Chief Ron Berardocco arrived on scene. The patient was lowered to the ground, and paramedics removed a large piece of meat wedged in his airway with a McGrath video laryngoscope and McGill forceps. An amazing job by this unknown bystander who saved this man’s life by recognizing, taking action, and activating EMS!

Not the prettiest photo… but definitely one of the most important.

This is what builds up inside your dryer vent over time and it’s exactly why regular cleanings aren’t just recommended, they’re required. Both National Fire Protection Association guidelines and manufacturer recommendations stress the importance of routine dryer vent maintenance to reduce the risk of fire and keep your system running efficiently.

At Tri-State Training & Fire Protection, we don’t cut corners, we follow the standards that are designed to keep your home and business safe.

And unlike the random “$99 vent cleaning” posts flooding local groups… we’re a trusted, local company with real experience, real certifications, and a reputation built right here in the community.

If it’s been a while since your last cleaning, now’s the time. 🔥

This week, our team installed a brand new ProTex II kitchen suppression system in a food truck - making sure it’s fully protected and ready to operate safely.

In mobile kitchens, space is tight and fire risks are high. A properly installed suppression system is critical for:
✔ Protecting staff and customers
✔ Meeting fire code requirements
✔ Preventing costly damage

At Tri-State Training & Fire Protection, we specialize in keeping commercial kitchens — mobile or stationary — safe, compliant, and ready for business.

💧 What is a Backflow Inspection? Why does it matter?

Backflow prevention devices are designed to keep contaminated water from flowing back into clean drinking water lines. In many commercial buildings, these devices must be tested annually to ensure they are functioning properly and meeting local compliance requirements.

In this video, one of our certified technicians walks through what a backflow inspection looks like and how we help businesses stay safe and compliant.

If your building requires backflow testing, Tri-State Training & Fire Protection is here to help.

⏰ Time Change = Safety Check Reminder! ⏰

When you change your clocks this Sunday, take a few extra minutes to protect your home and business:

🔋 Change your smoke detector batteries
🔥 Schedule your dryer vent cleaning

Dead batteries can mean silent smoke alarms.
Clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of preventable home fires.

The time change is the perfect built-in reminder to handle both!

Don’t just change the time - improve your safety.

📞 Contact Tri-State Training & Fire Protection to schedule your dryer vent cleaning today.

🔥 We love history… but not when it comes to fire extinguishers. 🔥

These extinguishers look like they survived a few decades… maybe a few owners… possibly even a dinosaur era or two. 🦖😅

While they might look tough, fire extinguishers aren’t meant to last forever - and when an emergency happens, you need equipment that actually works.

🚨 Fire extinguishers should be inspected EVERY YEAR to make sure they’re charged, safe, and ready when you need them most.

Rust, corrosion, low pressure, or damage can mean failure when seconds matter.

Don’t wait until your extinguisher qualifies as an antique.

✅ Annual Inspections
✅ Maintenance & Repairs
✅ Replacements When Needed

📞 Contact Tri-State Training & Fire Protection to schedule your inspection and keep your business protected — no museum pieces required.

We’re proud to see one of our Tri-State Training instructors helping spread awareness about the life-saving power of CPR during American Heart Month ❤️

In a recent feature with WFMZ, our instructor shared an important reminder - CPR training gives everyday people the confidence and skills to step in when seconds matter most. Cardiac emergencies can happen anywhere, and being prepared can truly mean the difference between life and death.

At Tri-State Training, this is exactly why we do what we do. Through hands-on CPR, First Aid, and safety training, we help individuals, workplaces, and communities feel ready to respond when it counts.

👏 Great job representing our mission and helping educate the community!
