Firefighters Respond To Candle Fire

Firefighters from three companies rushed to a home on Glendale Road Wednesday night to deal with a candle fire.

A lit candle was knocked over and fell into a box at the two-story house on 505 Glendale Rd., said Bon Air Fire Chief Kevin Kramer.

Kramer said there was only minor damage, which was mostly from smoke. He said that one of the residents in the house quickly put out the fire.

Firefighters were seen walking into the home to investigate the minimal damage. There were no reports of any injuries.

“I have to pray for them,” homeowner Rosemary Welding said of the firefighters from the three companies that came, which were Bon Air, Manoa, and Llanerch.

Welding, who has lived in the house for 20 years, said that the volunteer firefighters go above and beyond the call of duty for the residents of Haverford Township.
