10/17/2026 1100 Haverford Civic Association Party in Sharpe Park

by //

10/17/2026 | 1100 Hours – A little chilly weather couldn’t stop the fun at Party in the Park at Sharpe Park in Haverford! 🍂🎃🚒

Engine 25-1 and Command 25 spent the morning joining our neighbors for this wonderful community event hosted by the Haverford Civic Association.

Despite the cool temperatures and blustery winds, families came out to enjoy a morning filled with activities, music, and community spirit!

Pumpkin painting was a big hit with the kids, while Lincoln Drive provided the live music. Families also learned about creating “Bug Snugs” to provide shelter for overwintering insects, and local businesses generously contributed some terrific raffle prizes.

Our firefighters enjoyed spending time with residents, showing off our apparatus, answering questions, and meeting so many families from the Haverford community.

A big THANK YOU to the Haverford Civic Association for organizing such a fun event and to everyone who stopped by to say hello!

Whether we’re responding to emergencies or enjoying a morning in the park, Station 25 is always proud to be part of the communities we serve! ❤️🚒

10/15/2026 1035 Steam Leak

by //

10/15/2026 | 1035 Hours – Station 25 responded to 300 E. Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore for a reported steam leak in the sub-basement of the building.

Upon arrival, crews from Engine 25 and Ladder 25 began investigating the situation and worked to secure the affected area and address potential hazards associated with the steam leak.

Ardmore firefighters operated on scene for approximately 50 minutes, working to make the area safe before returning to service.

While fires and rescues often receive the most attention, our volunteers respond to a wide variety of emergencies. Steam leaks and other mechanical system failures can create dangerous conditions that require careful investigation and a coordinated response.

Another example of the many ways Station 25 serves and protects our community every day! 🚒

10/13/2026 1253 Broken Sprinkler Pipe

by //

10/13/2026 | 1253 Hours – Station 25 responded to 2 E. Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore for a reported water flow alarm.

First-arriving crews discovered a broken sprinkler pipe on the second floor, sending a significant amount of water down into the retail space on the first floor.

Ardmore firefighters quickly went to work to limit the damage, deploying all available salvage tarps to protect merchandise and property from the falling water. With additional tarps needed, Station 21 – Penn Wynne-Overbrook Hills Fire Company was requested to assist.

Crews also worked to remove standing water using squeegees and secured the water supply to stop the flooding.

While firefighters are best known for putting out fires, protecting property and minimizing damage are also important parts of what we do! Incidents like this demonstrate the many different ways our volunteers serve the community and the importance of teamwork between our Lower Merion fire companies.
