A home in Lansdale Borough was damaged by a fire early-Sunday morning, marking the second fire in a five-day period near the Andale Green townhome development.
Crews were dispatched to the intersection of Hancock Street and the Liberty Bell Trail at 5:05 a.m. on May 28 for a report of a building fire. Dispatch notes indicate there was smoke showing from the rear of a home, and arriving police encountered heavy fire at the rear of the home, according to our sources.
All residents were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported.
The fire was placed under control at 5:48 a.m. Crews remain on scene at this time, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
Fairmount Fire Company is being assisted at the scene by units from Towamencin Fire Company, North Penn Fire Company, Fire Department of Montgomery Township, Upper Gwynedd Fire Department, and Lansdale Borough Police.
It’s the second time in less than a week that fire crews were dispatched near the Andale Green development, following a fast-spreading field fire along the Liberty Bell Trail Wednesday night.
In that incident, units from the Fairmount Fire Company were dispatched to the intersection of Almond and Bamboo drives in the Andale Green development at 8:06 p.m. for a report of a field fire. Arriving fire crews encountered a 50-foot by 300-foot section of tall grass and brush that had caught fire, with winds causing the blaze to quickly spread and endangering nearby homes.
The cause of that fire remains undetermined and is still under investigation.
