This week is National Fire Prevention Week and the theme this year is “Serve up fire safety in the kitchen.” Unfortunately, due to Covid-19, we are unable to hold our annual open house. In lieu of the open house, this week we will be posting various Fire Prevention material on our social media and website for your review. Thank you for your understanding and we will see you at our open house next year!

Early this morning Company 38, Engine 35 and Narberth Ambulance were dispatched to Bala Lane for a reported house fire. Units arrived onscene and found a tree branch had fallen and forced wires onto the roof of the home causing a small fire in the roof and attic area. The fire was quickly contained once power was secured. Chief 38 had command.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, we have decided to cancel our annual July 4th Parade and Celebration. Please stay well, and we look forward to celebrating Independance Day with you next year.
