The Radnor Fire Company was dispatched at 9:59 p.m. to the area of Willow Ave. and Plant Ave. for a vehicle fire in Radnor Township. The 9-1-1 information indicated a limo bus was on fire and that the driver and sole occupant had safely exited the vehicle.

Radnor Fire Chief Joseph Maguire arrived on location and reported a limo bus engulfed in flames that had extended to a nearby two story dwelling. Additional assistance was called from the Berwyn, Newtown Square, Broomall and Gladwyne fire companies to respond.

Fire crews worked to extinguish the fire that had extended into both floors of the residence and the attic space. The residence was broken down into two apartments. The residents in the 2nd floor apartment escaped safely after being alerted to the flames by a neighbor. The 1st floor unit was unoccupied at the time of the fire.

One firefighter was transported to Bryn Mawr Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. There were no reported civilian injuries.

The fire was declared under control at 11:09 p.m. All units were clear of the scene before 1:30 a.m. The Radnor Township Fire Marshal and Radnor Township Police Department investigated the cause of the fire, which started in the limo bus.

The Rocky Run Fire Company (Engine 46) and Springfield Fire Company (Tower 44) stoodby at Radnor's fire station during the incident.
