 Glen Moore Fire Company was dispatched at 4:03am to assist Sta 47 (Lionville) for a building at the Eagle Tavern. The Fire was largely contained to the rear kitchen area with some extension and heavy smoke conditions throughout. 48-1 personnel were assigned RIT detail and stood ready. At 5:25am, with a good knock down by 47 and 73 firefighters and overhaul underway Station 47 was alerted for another House Fire on the edge of their territory with Station 61 Kimberton and 5 East Whiteland. Since Engine 48-1 and 48-5 were not committed to the Eagle tavern incident we were released to cover the call for 47.
While enroute the responding personnel were advised the fire was a outbuilding to the home with flames encroaching on the residence. A smoke header was also visible from distance.
Engine 61 layed in to the drive and began attack operations. The recently dedicated 48-1 staged on the hardroad and sent manpower to assist Engine 61 while 48-5 picked up the LDH at the end of the driveway. A quick attack on the somewhat persistant fire netted results in about 10 minutes.

Many of our new members have never seen these airbags in use so we decided to test them out!

Remember to escape first, then notify the fire department using 911. Never go back into a burning building for any reason. Teach children not to hide from firefighters. If someone is missing, tell the firefighters. They are equipped to perform rescues safely.
