Hillcrest Avenue Street Sweeper Fire

July 3, 2013 brought an unusual vehicle fire. A street sweeper’s engine compartment was on fire. On arrival Flourtown found a fire in the auxiliary engine that runs the sweeper part. Due to issues accessing the engine the Holmatro Hydraulic Spreader and hand tools were used to access. Wyndmoor Hose Co. with its Squirt 82 was dispatched to supply the Squad with water due to the hydrants were on the other side of major roads (Bethlehem Pike and Stenton Ave.) and there was concern not to shut the road down to run a line to a hydrant being a busy pre-holiday afternoon.

We Can’t Help You – If We Can’t Find You.

With the recent heavy snowfall, Flourtown Fire Company reminds residents to clear snow from your address marker and the nearest hydrant. A snow covered hydrant slows the emergency response of firefighters putting water on a fire.

After the recent significant snowfall some members of Flourtown Fire Company uncovered hydrants throughout Flourtown and Erdenheim, if we didn’t get to one near you, please help us and clear the snow away from the hydrant. Photo by George Wilmot III, firefighters, Sal Santangelo, Tyler Buckley and Andrew Johnson clear snow from a hydrant, not pictured but also clearing hydrants was George and Lexi Wilmot and Chris van Eekelen.
