Located in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States, Belmont Hills is a suburb of Philadelphia.

A year later, a horse-drawn wagon was purchased, this allowed the brigade members a little more energy for actually fighting the fires.

In 1920, the parcel of land on South Washington Avenue – the current site of the Belmont Hills Fire Company – was purchased.

In order to conduct fire company meetings, space was rented at the nearby Ashland School.

While no one was hurt in the event several residents reported broken windows and cracked ceilings within their homes.
