11/2/2026 | 1922 Hours – Engine 25-1 and Ladder 25 responded to 239 Crosshill Road in Penn Wynne to assist Station 21 with a reported chimney fire that was filling a home with smoke.
Upon arrival, firefighters from Stations 21 and 25 worked together to remove the burning wood from the fireplace, while Ladder 25’s crew raised the aerial ladder to the roof to inspect the chimney for any remaining fire or hazards.
🔥 Chimney Fire Safety Reminder: As temperatures drop and fireplace season begins, it’s important to make sure your chimney is ready for use!
- Have your chimney inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified professional.
- Burn only properly seasoned, dry firewood.
- Never leave a fire unattended.
- Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly.
If you suspect a chimney fire, evacuate your home and call 911 immediately.
Another great example of teamwork between the volunteer firefighters of the Lower Merion Fire Department, working together to keep our communities safe!
