Fire Damages Seniors Condo Units In Bristol

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — A fire Thursday morning damaged condominium units at a senior community in Bristol Township.

Firefighters were dispatched at 9:40 a.m. to Hearthstone Condominiums, a 55-and-older community on Moore Street in Bristol. There, they discovered a fire on the third floor that, according to Fire Marshal Kevin Dippolito, involved a washing machine.

The unit's sprinkler system activated and helped contain the fire to a laundry close, Dippolito said. The unit sustained smoke and water damage and two units below it had water damage.

No one was injured in the fire and residents were allowed back into all but one unit at 2:30 p.m., according to Dippolito.
