Broomall Fire Co To Get New, State-Of-The-Art Firehouse In 2019

BROOMALL, PA – The Broomall Fire Company will have a new, state-of-the-art firehouse by spring 2019, as it awarded a contact to build a new firehouse.

The fire company awarded the construction contact to Pancoast & Clifford Inc. of West Chester to build the new firehouse.

The new 22,000 square-foot facility will be built at the northeast corner of West Chester Pike and Malin Road, the site of the former Marple Grade School, and just across Malin road from the current firehouse, the fire company said.

"We are extremely excited to be working with the project team of Pennoni (civil engineer); Bernardon (architect), and Pancoast & Clifford on this new firehouse project,” Jim Capuzzi, President of Broomall Fire Co, said in a statement. "The new station will make BFC a more responsive and efficient operation, and will allow us to continue to serve the Marple Township community for decades to come."

Construction of the new station, which has been designed to accommodate modern apparatus and recent advances in firefighting technology and to improve functionality and response time, is set to begin this month.

The station will also have improved foot and vehicular traffic flows, additional parking, and improved sight lines on Malin Road, all within a more environmentally friendly and efficiently laid out facility and site, according to the fire company.

"We are honored to be a member of such a distinguished team in the creation of this important facility to serve the surrounding community," Frank Pancoast, President of Pancoast & Clifford, said in a statement.
