10.20.2026 by Graham Fuller //

10/18/2026 | 1357 Hours – Station 25 responded to 1209 W. Wynnewood Road for a reported apartment fire.

Units from Stations 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 28, Narberth Ambulance (313), and the Fire Marshal’s Office responded as part of the initial building fire assignment.

Upon arrival, firefighters investigated and located a smoking light fixture in a basement room. Crews quickly addressed the problem and brought the incident under control before it could develop into a more serious situation.

Thanks to the quick response and coordinated efforts of the responding companies, the incident was handled without the need for an extended operation.

Not every building fire dispatch turns out to be a working fire, but every call receives the same level of attention and preparedness from our volunteers. 🚒

10/18/2026 | 1000 Hours A Contest of Titans⚔️

In a battle not witnessed in many ages, the Merion Fire Company of Ardmore faced the Bryn Mawr Fire Company upon the hallowed sands of the softball diamond—an epic contest of wits, wills, and hamstrings that had not been consulted beforehand.

Bats clashed. Dust rose. Umpires questioned their life choices.

For one glorious morning, these brave firefighters traded their hoses for bats and answered the ancient call:

“ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!” 🥎🔥

As a minor footnote – Ardmore was defeated in a close one 5- 21.

10/17/2026 1100 Ardmore Day

10.20.2026 by Graham Fuller //

10/17/2026 | 1100 Hours – What a great day to be in Ardmore! 🚒🎉

The Merion Fire Company of Ardmore was proud to participate in Ardmore Day 2026, joining our neighbors, local businesses, and visitors for an afternoon of fun and community spirit!

Engine 25 Engine 25-1 and Command 25 were on hand throughout the afternoon, giving families and visitors an opportunity to get an up-close look at our apparatus, meet some of our volunteer firefighters, and learn more about Station 25.

This year’s celebration was extra special as the Ardmore Business Association celebrated 75 years of supporting our local business community!

There was something for everyone, including the Ardbark Dog Parade and Costume Contest, a classic car show, family corn maze, trackless train, bumper cars, live entertainment, delicious food, and plenty of shopping at our local businesses.

Events like Ardmore Day remind us what makes this community so special. It’s always a pleasure to step away from emergency calls and training to spend time with the neighbors, families, and businesses we proudly serve.

A huge THANK YOU to the Ardmore Business Association for organizing another fantastic community celebration, and to everyone who stopped by to visit with our firefighters!

We love being part of the Ardmore community, and we’re already looking forward to next year! ❤️🚒
