Congratualtions to all the members from LMFD who recently completed their firefighter one certification through Bucks C.C.C. - Department of Public Safety Training & Certification! This class included firefighters Cliff Cantrell and John Gordon. Congratulations Cliff and John!

Today marks the 20th anniversary of 9/11/2001. We remember the men and women who tragically lost their life that day. All the firefighters, EMT/paramedics, police offficers and civilians that put themselves in harms way to help others are true heroes. We remember the men and women who put in countless hours during the recovery effort on Ground Zero. Many of whom suffered and lost their life or suffer from illness related to working on Ground Zero during the recovery effort. Those individuals are also heroes. We remember and will never forget.

Rest In Peace, Lieutenant Thomas Royds. The Merion Fire Company of Ardmore mourns the loss of Belmont Hills Firefighter and Bala Cynwyd Lieutenant Thomas Royds. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the Royds family as well as the members of Lower Merion Fire Department. Two additional firefighters were severely injured and remain hospitalized. We pray for a speedy recovery. Please keep these members in your thoughts and prayers as well.

Please keep Firefighter Sean DeMuynck’s family, Penn Wynne Overbrook Hills Fire Company, and Lower Merion Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers. Rest In Peace Sean!

Thank you to Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners and Lower Merion Fire Department for their support during the process of designing our new engine. We look forward to working closely with Glick Fire Equipment Company and Pierce Mfg.

The Merion Fire Company thanks the Rotary Club of Ardmore and the local community for their support of the 2020 Pancake Day fundraiser. Due to the COVID pandemic, the event was held virtually this year. Rotary Chairperson Dr. Jim Hall presents Chief Tom Hayden with a check for $6,800.00 to support the fire company. Firefighters Arman Force and Scott Russell assisted Chief Hayden in accepting the check.

Today we remember and honor all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day!

Last night, Monday May 17th, while enroute to a fire alarm in the 500 block of North Rose Lane, the MFCA was alerted of a dwelling fire in the 200 Block of Cheswold Hill Road. Engine 25-1 and Ladder 25 were diverted to the dwelling fire while Engine 25 handled the fire alarm. Engine 25-1 arrived with smoke showing from the roof line and requested the Lower Merion Working Fire Dispatch. Engine 25-1's crew went in service with a handline. Shortly after Engine 25-1 arrived, Ladd...er 25 arrived then Engine 25, after clearing the fire alarm. Members went in service with multiple handlines and operated on the interior and exterior of the house. Station 24, Engine 23, Ladder 26 were on the initial dispatch. With Stations 21, 22, and 28 being added on the Lower Merion Working Fire Dispatch for 1 truck each. Narberth Ambulance was also added on the working fire for an amblunace and their rehab unit. Strong work by all the firefighters on the fireground brought the fire under control in one hour. Thank you to Conshohocken Fire Company No. 2 for covering our station and George Clay Fire Company - Station 39 for covering station 24. Thank you to everyone involved yesterday for your strong work!
