Berwyn Fire Co. Performs 3 Water Rescues During Monday Downpour

Berwyn Fire Co. responded to three vehicles stranded in water during Monday's heavy rainfall.

The three water rescues were performed at the following intersections:

• Arlington Road and Berkley Road
• Lakeside Avenue and Lancaster Avenue (pictured)
• Eastbound Church Road off Sugartown Road

"Turn around, don't drown," was the practiced advice Berwyn Fire Co. Assistant Chief Eamon Brazunas offered to drivers. "Seek high ground and wait to drive your car, or you will risk getting trapped in swift water."

The fire company also responded to a fire alarm in the 1200 block of Sugartown Road.

Brazunas cited the Tredyffrin Township Public Works team for its proactive measures, blocking off parts of Walker and Richards roads to prevent vehicles from getting stuck.
