Building Fire

On May 9, 2022 at 345pm Springfield Police responded to a call for traffic lights out at Brookside Road and Springfield Road. As the officer arrived he saw an apartment on fire a block away. He called for the fire company. The officer was approached by a 12 year old resident who confirmed a hearing impaired older male was still in the building on the second floor. Springfield Fire Company along with Clifton Heights, Garretford-Drexel Hill and Collingdale responded. Springfield Fire had an engine on scene within 3 minutes and firefighters entered the building and removed the male. He was treated at the scene by EMS. The fire was confined to the living room in the first floor apartment. Companies were on scene for about an hour and 30 minutes. We want to thank Manoa and Aston fire companies for covering the township while we operated at the scene. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the township fire marshal.

On Thursday April 28, 2022 at 612am Springfield Fire Company responded to assist Clifton Heights Fire Company on a building fire with possible entrapment. Springfield sent two engines with 8 firefighters along with numerous other neighboring fire companies. The fire was upgraded to two alarms by Chief 3. Firefighters were pulled out due to structural concerns. The fire was placed under control and companies were released after about 4 hours. Two of our newest firefighters got to do some work in the “D” side exposure building. They were a little late for school.
