June 1 1954, the newly formed West Bradford Fire Co suffered a tremendous loss when the company was alerted to a brush fire, while Firefighter Everett Russell was responding to the firehouse he collided head on with a responding fire truck on slight incline on Northbrook Road

This accident proved fatal for Firefighter Russell and he succumbed to his injuries at Memorial Hospital in West Chester. On Sunday, we honored him by laying a wreath at his final resting place in the Bradford Cemetery.
