Two Arson Fires in Berwyn

Station 2 was dispatched at 6:01 p.m. for a dumpster fire in the parking lot of the St. Monica's Church in Easttown Twp.

Engine 2-0 arrived on scene with a small fire in the dumpster that was quickly extinguished.

Several juveniles were detained by the Easttown Twp. Police Department after admitting to setting the fire.

Just after 10:30 p.m. Station 2 was dispatched to the Tee Garden Park in Tredyffrin Twp. for a trash fire in the field.

Engine 2-2 arrived on scene to find a 4' X 4' area of debris on fire.

Two juveniles were seen running from the seen by an alert neighbor. Unfortunately the individuals who set the fire were not caught.

While these two fires were relatively minor in comparison to other calls the fire company responds too, these types of incidents are crimes and aren't taken lightly by our local fire companies and police departments.

Command: Chief 2 (C. Peterson)
