Sprinklers held a fire in check Thursday night at an apartment building until firefighters could knock it out.<\/p>\n
At about 9 p.m. Upper Darby stations 36 and 37 were dispatched to 6800 Market St. for a fire alarm.<\/p>\n
Crews arrived to find residents evacuating the building and fire and smoke on the fourth floor.<\/p>\n
Firefighters from Truck 37 went to that location and found heavy smoke and water coming from an apartment as firefighters from Engine 36 began the process of bringing a hose line up the fire tower.<\/p>\n
The confirmed working fire brought remaining township companies to the scene as well as additional units, including a platform truck from Llanerch Fire Company.<\/p>\n
Upper Darby Professional Firefighters Union said in a social media post that an active fire was located, being held in-check by the building sprinklers, but needing further extinguishment and ventilation from crews.<\/p>\n
Interior crews quickly extinguished the remaining fire and searched the apartments.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation by township investigators.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sprinklers held a fire in check Thursday night at an apartment building until firefighters could knock it out.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":82471,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,212,182,139,28,210,147,149,148,150],"class_list":{"0":"post-82470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-upper-darby","8":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","9":"tag-delaware-county","10":"tag-local-news","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-pennsylvania","13":"tag-top-stories-dtd","14":"tag-upper-darby","15":"tag-upper-darby-headlines","16":"tag-upper-darby-news","17":"tag-upper-darby-township"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82470\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/82471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
