Yesterday at approximately 3:30 pm, Station 28 was dispatched to the 500 block of Waldron Terrace for a reported house fire. Engine 28 responded a minute later with a crew of 4. En route Engine 28 reported a header (a visible smoke column seen multiple blocks away) and the Lower Merion working fire dispatch was transmitted. Engine 28 and crew arrived to find a two-story, type III, single family with heavy smoke from the roof. 28 personnel led off with a 2.5" attack line through the front door and encountered heavy fire on the second floor. Thanks to the quick initial attack and mutual aid from Stations 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26, the fire was placed under control approximately 20 mins after arrival.

There were no reported firefighter or civilian injuries.
