Parking Lot |
|
March 8, 2010-
Just after 1100 hrs., Engine company 15 was alerted to 1075
W. King St., Weis Markets, for an auto on fire in the
parking lot. Engine 15-1 and 15-2 responded and
arrived to find one auto off in the parking lot.
Engine 15-1's crew pulled an attack line and quickly put a
knock on the fire. Fire was contained to the auto of origin
with no extension to any other vehicles. Crews
remained on the scene for short time longer mopping up.
Once units had picked up, Engine 15-1 and 15-2 returned to
service.

| 1st Due House with Heavy Fire
from Side C! |
|
March 13, 2010-
At 0422 hrs., A box alarm was sounded reporting a house on
fire at 1566 Orrstown Rd in Southampton township.
Engine and Rescue Squad 15 responded 1st due on the box.
Units arrived on the scene and reported a single story
woodframe house with heavy fire showing from side C.
Crews quickly advanced an attack line through the house and
put a knock on the fire. Additional crews arrived and
advanced a backup line while also opening up. The bulk
of the fire was held to two rooms in the B quadrant and the
rear porch with some extension into the attic. The
Truck opened the roof, assisted in opening up to check for
extension, and provided ventilation.
After an extensive overhaul, the box was scaled back. Units cleared the scene
and returned to service several hours later.
