11/7/2026 1211 Building Fire

11.08.2026 by Graham Fuller //

11/7/2026 | 1211 Hours โ€“ 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.

๐Ÿš’ 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!
