8/12/26 0926 Odor of Gas

08.12.2026 by Graham Fuller //

8/12/2026 | 0926 Hours – Ardmore firefighters responded to several businesses on Greenfield Avenue, directly across from the fire station, for a reported gas odor and possible leak.

Crews investigated the affected stores, secured the area, and requested PECO to the scene. PECO located and addressed the gas leak while Station 25 personnel remained on location to ventilate the building and help ensure the affected spaces were safe.

Gas odors should always be taken seriously. If you smell natural gas, leave the area, avoid using electrical switches or anything that could create a spark, and call 911 from a safe location.

8/9/2026 | 2136 Hours – Station 25 responded to assist Station 23 at a working fire involving a row of multiple garages on the unit block of Morton Road in Bryn Mawr.

Engine 25-1 established a water supply, laying a supply line to support Ladder 23. Ladder 25 and Engine 25 provided additional manpower, tools, and portable lighting to support operations, while Chief 25 assisted with command.

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all companies on scene, the fire was quickly brought under control. Crews then checked the surrounding garages and confirmed there was no extension of the fire.
