11/7/2026 1211 Building Fire

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.

🚒 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!

10/22/2026 1544 CO Alarm

10.22.2026 by Graham Fuller //

10/22/2026 | 1544 Hours – Station 25 responded to 7 E. Athens Avenue in Ardmore for a reported carbon monoxide (CO) alarm sounding inside a multi-unit residential building.

Upon arrival, Ardmore firefighters began investigating the source of the alarm and checking the building for potentially dangerous carbon monoxide levels.

Crews traced the problem to a blocked chimney serving a hot water heater. The obstruction was cleared, and firefighters conducted additional checks throughout the building before confirming conditions were safe and returning to service.

⚠️ Carbon Monoxide Safety Reminder: Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that can be deadly. Blocked chimneys, malfunctioning heating equipment, and improperly vented appliances can allow dangerous levels of CO to accumulate inside a building.

Make sure your home has working carbon monoxide detectors, have fuel-burning appliances inspected regularly, and never ignore a CO alarm! If an alarm sounds, evacuate the building and call 911 from a safe location.

Incidents like this demonstrate why working carbon monoxide detectors are so important. They provide an early warning of a potentially life-threatening situation.
