COURTHOUSE FIRE
Thu, 17 Apr 2008 At Approx. 4:45 pm the call came in for a building fire at 525 West Chester Pike, The Haverford Towsnhip District Court Building, located in the Llanerch section of Haverford Township. The Haverford Bureau of Fire responded from Llanerch, Brookline, Manoa & Bon Air Fire Companies. Upon arrival, they where greeted with heavy smoke & fire visable from the 1st flr to the roof.
As companies went into service, and the bulk of the fire was knocked, it was discovered that the fire originated from the outside, from a pile of mulch, where possible a disgarded cigerette may have ignited the mulch. The fire caught the cedar facade on the face of the building and burned up to the roof. Firefighters did a great job in containing the fire and keeping it from spreading to the inside. A specail call was made for the RIT Team from Oakmont. The Bureau of Fire cleared the call at just past 6:00 pm.
