This afternoon at 1320, Box 20-1 was dispatched for Millersburg, Elizabethville, and Halifax fire units for a reported kitchen fire on Center Street in the borough. Chief 20 arrived and requested the box be upgraded for a working fire bringing additional units from Berrysburg, Pillow and Fisherville fire companies for assistance. Engine 20 was ordered to lay supply hose from the closest hydrant and advance an attack line. The fire was attacked with a portable extinguisher and the attack line containing damage to the kitchen. The occupants closed the doors upon evacuating limiting the fires growth due to limiting fresh air from entering supporting development. Control of the fire was made at 1330 and the Box was held to Engines 20, 21 and Truck 20. Units remained on the scene for about 1 hour to ventilate. Thanks to the 21 crew for assisting in picking up and reloading hose.
