**ENGINE AND TOWER RUN 1ST DUE APARTMENT FIRE**
Last night Engine and Tower 33 responded along with mutual aid from Progress Fire 32, Paxtonia 34 Fire Company, Citizens Fire Company #1 of Penbrook, and Paxtang Fire Company #1 for a report of a 1st due fire on Trent Road. Engine 33 arrived and dropped line from the hydrant at Trent and Byron and pulled past the building. The Engine reported smoke and fire presenting from the rear of a two-story apartment, that they’d be stretchin’, and that there was room for the Tower to the Bravo side. Tower 33 split their crew, searching the fire apartment and laddering the building while the engine’s first line made quick work of the fire. A secondary backup line was stretched, charged, and used for overhaul.
This quick stop of fire on the top floor middle apartment in a row of apartments was possible due to fast response times, fast water, and SOP-Driven aggressive firefighters and tactics.
Lower Paxton Fire
This last weekend, Tower 33 transferred to Franklin Fire Company in Chambersburg while Franklin members handled their annual gun raffle. While there, crews covered a response and crews back home at the Southside handled an additional two calls for service.
****AVOID LONDONDERRY AND AVILA ROADS***
A paint spill has Avila and Londonderry Roads closed during cleanup. Please avoid the area while crews work. All apartments are accessible from alternate entrances.
Apparently someone stole a work truck
It’s also throughout Lakewood hills
