8/4/2026 1800 National Night Out

by //

8/4/2026 | 1800 Hours – The Merion Fire Company of Ardmore had a fantastic time at National Night Out in Suburban Square! 🚒🎉

Our members brought Ladder 25 and the Command Vehicle to the event, giving visitors an up-close look at the apparatus we use to protect our community. Guests had the opportunity to tour the ladder truck, explore its compartments, ask plenty of great questions, and even watch a few of our members climb the aerial ladder!

It was a wonderful evening spent connecting with residents, meeting new friends, and sharing what it means to serve as volunteer firefighters in Lower Merion Township.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit us. We truly enjoyed meeting you and appreciate your continued support. We can’t wait to see you again next year!

7/26/26 2037 Fire alarm

by //

7/26/2026 | 2037 Hours – Station 25 responded to 1209 W. Wynnewood Road for a report of smoke in a second-floor hallway.

Upon arrival, firefighters determined the smoke was the result of unattended cooking. Crews quickly investigated the incident, ensured there was no extension of fire, and ventilated the affected area as needed before returning the building to normal operations. The company was in service for approximately 20 minutes.

Unattended cooking remains one of the leading causes of residential fires. If you’re cooking, stay in the kitchen, keep combustible items away from the stove, and never leave food unattended on the cooktop or in the oven.

7/19/2026 | 1642 Hours – Station 25 responded to assist Station 26 at 325 Penn Road for a reported dryer fire.

Upon arrival, crews investigated and determined the dryer was malfunctioning but there was no active fire. Firefighters secured the appliance, ensured there was no extension or additional hazard, and placed the incident under control.

Quick investigation of reported appliance fires helps prevent small problems from becoming larger emergencies. If you notice unusual odors, smoke, or your dryer is not operating properly, discontinue use and have it inspected before using it again.
