Spring Mill Fire Company remained busy throughout the day today, responding to three separate emergency incidents throughout Whitemarsh Township.

10:08 AM – Building Fire

The company was dispatched to assist Barren Hill Volunteer Fire Company on a reported non-commercial building fire in the 600 block of Bethlehem Pike. Multiple callers reported a detached garage, reported to be a two-story carriage house, on fire.

Upon arrival, crews encountered heavy fire on the first floor extending into the second floor. Ladder 45 responded with a crew of five firefighters and was assigned to ventilate the structure and check Division 2 for fire extension. The company operated on scene for just over an hour before returning to the station to restore the apparatus and prepare for the next emergency.

3:40 PM – Vehicle Accident with Injuries

Later in the afternoon, the company responded to the unit block of Ridge Pike for a motor vehicle accident with injuries. Squad 45 responded with a crew of four firefighters, assisting with traffic control, hazard mitigation, fluid control, and scene protection while Narberth Ambulance and the Whitemarsh Township Police Department cared for the injured parties and investigated the crash.

6:41 PM – Odor Investigation

The day’s final incident occurred in the 1000 block of East Hector Street, where the company responded for an odor of gas inside a commercial building. Engine 45 responded with a crew of four firefighters along with Ladder 45 with a crew of 3 firefighters. After a thorough investigation, crews determined the odor originated from solvents being used to clean an apartment, and no hazardous conditions were found.

We would like to thank our mutual aid partners, Barren Hill Fire Company, Plymouth Fire Company No. 1 (Montco 43), Conshohocken Fire Company No. 2, Whitemarsh Community Ambulance Association, and the Whitemarsh Township Police Department for their continued teamwork and professionalism throughout today’s incidents.

Today at 12:53 PM, Spring Mill Fire Company was dispatched to the 2100 block of Basswood Drive in Whitemarsh Township for a reported fire alarm.

Engine 45, staffed with a crew of four firefighters, responded promptly. After conducting a thorough investigation, crews determined the activation was caused by a malfunctioning alarm system. The crew returned to the station, restored Engine 45 to service, and prepared for the next emergency.

Moments later, before they had a chance to settle back in, the company was dispatched at 13:28 hours to assist the Norristown Fire Department with a reported building fire in the 600 block of Calamia Drive.

Ladder 45, also staffed with a crew of four, responded and arrived as the first-due ladder company on the scene. The operator quickly positioned the aerial to provide rooftop access while firefighters deployed ground ladders to the A, B, and D sides of the building, ensuring multiple points of access and egress for crews operating on the incident. We operated alongside Norristown Professional Firefighters Local 2335, Plymouth Fire Company No. 1 (Montco 43), Norriton Fire Engine Company, Upper Merion Township Fire & EMS, Conshohocken Fire Company No. 2, Bridgeport Fire Department, Lower Providence Fire Department Barren Hill Fire Company

This response is a great example of the dedication and preparedness of our volunteers, who stand ready to answer the next call—whether it’s a routine alarm or a working fire in a neighboring community.

As always, thank you to our members for your commitment to protecting our community and supporting our mutual aid partners.

We brought one of our trucks over and turned the field into a giant splash zone, giving the students a fun way to cool off and enjoy the day. It’s always a pleasure to connect with our community and put smiles on so many faces.

A big thank you to AIM Academy for inviting us—we had a great time and hope everyone enjoyed the water as much as we did! Stay safe and have a great summer!

It was a great opportunity to meet the amazing children and families served by Variety, connect with fellow first responders, and showcase some of the equipment we use to keep our community safe.
