In the event of a fire in an assisted living facility, with elderly residents trapped on an upper floor, it’s crucial that fire companies have a rapid and safe way to rescue them.
Just such an assisted living facility, along with commercial buildings and townhomes, are what’s on tap for Limerick Township when the proposed Limerick Town Center project at Ridge and Swamp Pike, becomes a reality. That prospect was one of the justifiable reasons that Limerick Fire Company recently purchased and placed in service a $1.2 million 2018 E-One 95-foot tower ladder--the first tower ladder in the company’s history.
Limerick Fire Company’s 40 active volunteers respond to over 550 emergencies annually.
