| Chimney Fire on Gutshall Rd |
|
January 4, 2010-
At 2140 hours a box alarm was transmitted for a chimney fire
at #2 Gutshall Rd. Engine 15-1 and 15-2 responded on
the box. First arriving units reported a single story,
wood frame ranch style house with fire in the chimney.
Upon investigation, crews found extension into the walls.
WEFR's crew assisted Co. 49, 52, and Truck 53 in immediately
opening up the surrounding walls and extinguishing all fire
in the chimney and walls. Engine company 15 returned
to service at 2224 hours.

| One Overturned with Entrapment
on the "S" Turns |
January 24, 2010-
Rescue Squad 15, along with Engine Co. 51, 52, and EMS,
responded to Shippensburg Rd, in the area of the "S" turns,
for an auto accident with entrapment. Engine Co. 51 and
Rescue Squad 15 arrived to find one auto overturned with
entrapment. The Squad crew immediately went to work
stabilizing the vehicle. They then performed a full roof
removal in order to extricate the patient. The patient was
extricated and care was transferred to EMS. Rescue Squad 15
returned to service once released by Command 51.
Take notice to the "old school" use of the chain and
com-a-long around the tree in order to stabilize the
vehicle. There are still uses for things of the past.
Remember, everyday is a training day in this job!
Great job on "Thinking Outside The Box"!
