Greenvillage Rd |

April 8, 2010-
A Box Alarm was sounded for a reported house on fire at 5725
Greenvillage Rd in Greene Township. Engine Company 15,
Rescue Squad 15, and Chief 15 responded 1st due on the box.
Chief 15 was advised that the caller stated the house was
filling up with smoke and they were evacuating the
residence. Chief 15 requested a channel and
established Command 15. Due to the incident's close
proximity to Letterkenny Army Depot, engine company 13 was
the first arriving unit and reported a one story single
family woodframe house with smoke showing side A.
Engine company 13's crew quickly advanced an attack line and
found a room off. A quick knock down was made and
command 15 quickly placed all incoming units into level 1
staging. Upon confirmation of no extension, command 15
held the box to engine companies 15, 13, & Station 4, Truck
42, and Rescue Squad 15. Crews overhauled and
ventilated the structure before returning to service.

| MVA with Double Entrapment & One
Ejected |
|
April 22, 2010-
In the early morning hours under dense fog, Engine Company
51, Rescue Squad 15, and EMS were alerted for an auto
accident with ejection at the intersection of Enola Rd and
Three Square Hollow Rd in Hopewell Twp. Company 51
arrived on the scene and reported two vehicles off the
roadway, one overturned, with one ejected and two entrapped.
The Rescue Squad arrived and immediately went to work
stabilizing the vehicles and extricating the two trapped
victims. Along with the help of Company 51 personnel,
the two trapped victims were extricated quickly. Due
to the dense fog conditions, air medical was unable to fly
so, they were transported by ground to Hershey Med.
The driver of the pickup truck, who was ejected, was taken
by ground to Chambersburg Hospital and shortly thereafter
transported by ground to Hershey, due to the unavailability
of air medical because of weather conditions. The
Rescue Squad returned to service upon being released by
Command 51.
