Apartment Building Fire Under Investigation In Langhorne

LANGHORNE, PA —The cause of an apartment fire Tuesday night is under investigation, fire officials said.

Frank Farry, chief of the Langhorne-Middletown Fire Company, said the fire took place just before 9 p.m. Tuesday on the 100 block of North Bellevue Avenue.

He said that fire crews were on the scene within two minutes of the call being placed for the fire at the multi-unit apartment building, which is near the borough's business district.

“We had the fire under control within 15 minutes,” Farry said.

He said the fire was contained to an apartment, but that other apartments suffered smoke damage. No one was injured.

The Middletown Township Fire Marshal’s Office is assisting in the investigation, Farry said.

Besides Langhorne-Middletown, Farry said that the Penndel, Parkland, and William Penn fire companies also responded.
