Protect. Serve. Volunteer.
7/8/2026 | 1432 Hours – Station 25 responded to 250 E. Lancaster Ave. for a reported odor investigation.
Firefighters investigated the source of the odor and confirmed there were no hazards requiring further action. After ensuring the area was safe, the company returned to service.
7/6/2026 | 1900 Hours – This week’s training took Station 25 to the former College Arms Apartments on Montgomery Ave., where our firefighters had the opportunity to train in a real-world environment.
Training in an actual structure provides invaluable experience that simply can’t be replicated in a classroom. Crews worked through realistic fireground scenarios, allowing them to sharpen their skills, improve teamwork, and prepare for the emergencies they may face in our community.
A sincere thank you to the property’s new owners and Lower Merion Township for making this outstanding training opportunity possible. Partnerships like these help ensure our firefighters are prepared to provide the highest level of service to the residents and visitors of Ardmore and Lower Merion Township.
7/5/2026 | 1722 Hours – Station 25 was dispatched to assist Station 21 at a working house fire on Westwood Lane in Wynnewood. Responding alongside Lower Merion Stations 23, 24, 26, and 28, as well as Delaware County Stations 35 and 56, firefighters quickly assembled to battle the blaze.
Upon arrival, Company 25 encountered heavy smoke showing from a single-family residence. Our crews joined Station 21 in an aggressive interior fire attack, working together to bring the fire under control. Firefighters also assisted with opening ceilings and walls to locate hidden fire, completed overhaul operations, deployed the main aerial from Ladder 25 to the roof, and supported command operations throughout the incident.
With temperatures soaring, the extreme summer heat added another challenge to an already demanding operation. Through teamwork, training, and determination, crews worked together to safely bring the incident to a successful conclusion.
Thank you to all of the mutual aid departments whose professionalism and cooperation made a difference on this incident.
