Delaware County firefighter Mark Lamplugh honored after 50 years of service
Delco firefighter Mark Lamplugh honored after 50 years of service
A well-deserved surprise is in order for Mark W. Lamplugh Sr., a Delaware County firefighter, who has helped keep his community safe for decades.
DELAWARE COUNTY – “50 years of anything is a feat. But 50 years of fire service, like I said to you earlier, it’s a dangerous job and I’m sure he’s seen so much in his lifetime.” Board of Commissioners, Lower Chichester Head of Public Safety Rocco Gaspari commented on the firefighter’s service.
Meet Mark; he started volunteering in the firehouse in Lower Chichester when he was just 14 years old.
“Mark Laplugh is born and raised in this township and he’s a true hero. The uniform he wears, it has his name on his jacket but he doesn’t have a million dollar contract,” Rocco explained.
Tonight, the municipality gathered to present him with a plaque in honor of his service, a gesture that came as a complete surprise to him, since he was quiet about the 50-year mark.
“He’s not a guy that looks for honors, he just knows it has to be done, someone is going to do it and he’s the leader,” Rocco added.
After four decades, Mark has been a volunteer firefighter and, before that, a police officer and an Army veteran. When asked why he chose these paths, the answer is simple.
“I just wanted to help people, I always — military wise, police — I just wanted to be there for someone that needed help, that about it. I don’t know, I just like doing it… being a fireman,” said volunteer firefighter for 50 years, Mark Laplugh.
He’s been the President here for the last 19 years and grew up with a dad who volunteered in this very same firehouse; now his stepson, son, wife, and daughter have all worked in firefighting too.
“I live and breathe it; it’s my whole life,” Mark explains.
And tonight, he was honored that everyone in the station came out to support him.
“My dad would be so proud of me right now, and my grandfather. It just makes me feel really good that those 50 years really did mean something,” Mark reflected.
So tonight, the Board of Commissioners made sure to take the time to thank him and, of course, wish him a happy and healthy 50 more years.

Thomas Jefferson University to run Delaware’s first medical school
Thomas Jefferson University is opening a regional campus of its Sidney Kimmel Medical College in Delaware, an effort that will result in the state’s first medical school.
Jefferson beat out three other bidders to establish the four-year program in partnership with the state. The other bidders were the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, the consulting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ponce Health Sciences University in Puerto Rico, Spotlight Delaware reported.

The inaugural class of 40 medical students will begin instruction in July 2028. Initially, the campus will be based at the University of Delaware in Newark, with Jefferson faculty providing instruction. A permanent home for the campus is still being finalized, the Inquirer reported.
The medical students will receive 18 months of preclinical training on campus before receiving clinical training from healthcare providers in Delaware’s southern counties, where the state’s physician shortage is most deeply felt. That shortage is compounded by an aging population, Delaware officials said.
“Jefferson is committed to being part of the solution to Delaware’s physician shortage,” Jefferson CEO Dr. Joseph Cacchione said in a statement. “We are proud to help build a future where every Delawarean has access to the care they deserve. Jefferson is all in.”
The school’s creation is being supported by $157.4 million from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Delaware is one of three states without a Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine program. Since the late 1960s, Jefferson and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine have reserved seats for Delaware students.
“Sidney Kimmel Medical College has trained generations of physicians for more than 200 years, more than any other medical college in the country,” Said Ibrahim, dean of Sidney Kimmel Medical College, said in a statement. “It is a privilege to bring our mission to Delaware’s patients and communities.”
Jefferson has announced several expansions recently. The university is establishing a full-time doctor of nursing practice-nurse anesthesia program and several online graduate programs at the Lehigh Valley Health Network Center for Healthcare Education in Lehigh County. It also is opening a satellite respiratory therapy lab at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown.
