Wednesday, December 12, 2018 at 18:18, Engine 20 was dispatched to a reported residential structure fire on the 1000 Block of North River Road in Halifax Township. While enroute, Chief 29-1 was given further information that promptedhim to upgrade the box which added Truck and Tanker 20 to the incident. The Engine crew arrived with Engine 29-1 and picked up Engine 29-1’s 5” line while the Engine crew made entry with Chief 29-3 to extinguish the fire and assisted in pulling a second line. Much has been said about closing your doors when you leave a room or go to bed recently. The door to the fire room was closed by the homeowner and very likely saved the house from suffering much worse damage. As you look at the photos below by Seth Lasko, please keep that in mind and make sure you close your doors.Another home was saved last evening once again due to working smoke detectors sounding and the home owners quick thinking of shutting a bedroom door. A call came in for a reported structure fire in the 29-4 box. Chief 29-1 went on the air and county advised that the caller stated it was thought to be electrical in nature and that there was fire. With this and additional information the box was upgraded to a working fire. Arriving on scene Engine 29 laid in from route 147 and positioned on the A side of the structure. As crews stretched a line smoke was pushing from the structure. Engine and Truck 20 arriving at about the same time, Chief 29-3 Herrold along with Captain 20 Grimm, FF Hirsch followed by Chief 29-1 Pottiger made entry and made their way to a back bedroom on the A/B corner. Entering the room knocking the small fire they then began checking for any possible extension. Chief 29-2 having command asked for a ladders and an additional line to be stretched. Crews finding no additional fire vented the home using a positive pressure fan at the front door. Units called were Engine 29, Engine 29-1, Tanker 29, Engine 20, Truck 20, Tanker 20, Rescue 21, Engine 21, Tanker 21, Tanker 216, Squad 216, Engine 216, Air 35, Perry Squad 2 as well as fire police 29. A short time into the event command released Perry Squad 2, Engine, Tanker and Rescue 21. The cause is believed to have started in the area of an electrical outlet. Thoughts and prayers are with the residents of the home.
