Grease Fire at the Flourtown McDonald’s

On January 7th, crews from Flourtown, Wyndmoor, and Oreland Fire Companies responded to a commercial building fire at the McDonald’s in Flourtown.

Upon arrival there was nothing showing from the exterior of the building.  However, inside it building grease overflowed from one of fryers in the kitchen causing a small fire and smoke condition.

The crew from Flourtown responded quickly to extinguish the flames, and prevent any further property damage.

Station 6 (Flourtown) and Station (29) dispatched on box 32-28 for the commercial building fire. Chief 6 went en-route and was advised by county that roofers were doing work on the building and the building was filling with smoke and possibly had fire in the wall.  County also advised that the alarm company was on the phone and was reporting a smoke detector activation for the building.
