| On August 17th, Glen Moore Fire Company and East Brandywine Fire Company were alerted to a house fire on Indian Run Road. Wagontown Fire Company and Honey Brook Fire company were also dispatched as mutual aid. Within minutes, Engine 48-1 and Engine 49-1 responded.
Chief 48 signed on the air and changed the location to Robertson Way. He discovered a fire in a garage and requested the working fire dispatch. Engine 48-1 arrived moments later. They laid a 5" supply line from the dry hydrant located along Robertson Way down to the scene. The crew deployed an inch and 3/4 line and extinguished the fire. Engine 49-1 was ordered to draft out of the dry hydrant and supply Engine 48-1. Their crew went to the second floor to open up and check for extension. As other units were arriving, the fire was placed under control.
Job well done by all crews involved. |
