Meet Our Guests: Deputy Fire Marshal Matthew Maguire and Officer Carl Harper
Lower Merion Fire Department
Lower Merion Police Department
Lower Merion Fire Department fields over 2500 calls a year. Each time, firefighters stop what they’re doing–leave their homes, their families, their beds–and willingly walk into danger and some don’t make it back. In addition, most of the firefighters in the suburbs are volunteers. Aside from calls to extinguish fires, firefighters are also asked to report to the scenes of motor vehicle accidents. The large fire truck acts as a shield for the victims and first responders on the side of the road. The training is intense, and the work can be grueling. We thank these brave, selfless men and women for keeping us safe.
