11/7/2026 1516 Building Fire

11.08.2026 by Graham Fuller //

11/7/2026 | 1516 Hours – Station 25 led the Lower Merion Township building fire response to 1 Ardmore Place in Ardmore for a reported building fire.

First-arriving firefighters investigated and discovered that the smoke was coming from burnt food in an apartment on one of the building’s upper floors.

Crews ventilated the building to remove the smoke before returning to service.

πŸ”₯ Cooking Safety Reminder: Unattended cooking is one of the leading causes of residential fires. Even a small cooking mishap can quickly fill an apartment with smoke and trigger a building-wide emergency response.

Never leave cooking unattended, and always make sure your smoke alarms are working properly!

πŸš’ Whether it’s a working fire or a smoke investigation, our volunteer firefighters and neighboring Lower Merion fire companies respond ready to protect lives and property.

11.08.2026 by Graham Fuller //

11/7/2026 | 1211 Hours – Station 25 responded to 423 Redleaf Road to assist Station 26 with a reported house fire.

Units from Stations 21, 23, 24, 28, Narberth Ambulance (313), and the Fire Marshal’s Office also responded as part of the initial building fire assignment.

First-arriving firefighters quickly located an active fire in a second-floor room and immediately went to work extinguishing the flames.

Thanks to the quick response and coordinated efforts of the responding companies, firefighters brought the fire under control before it could spread further throughout the home.

Following extinguishment, crews remained on scene to check surrounding walls, ceilings, and adjoining areas for hidden fire or extension before returning to service.

πŸš’ Teamwork makes the difference! Incidents like this demonstrate the importance of the close working relationships between the volunteer fire companies of Lower Merion Township. When an emergency strikes, our firefighters respond together to protect lives and property.

Great work by all companies involved!
