Just after 3am , Station 62, Station 63 (Liberty), and MICU 83-2 (Friendship) were dispatched to the 1800 block of Old Schuylkill Road for a house fire. Chief 62 and Deputy 62 arrived to find a fire on the rear deck of the property with possible extension. Ladder 63 arrived followed shortly after by Rescue 62 and crews stretched a line off of Ladder 63 and began fire suppression. Rescue 62 connected to supply Ladder 63 if needed. Engine 62-5 arrived and assisted crews with overhaul and checking for extension. Crews quickly knocked the fire and determined there was no extension into the house. MICU 83-2 stood by on the scene until released. Traffic 63 detoured traffic around the scene. Chester County Fire Marshals are investigating the incident. Crews were in service for about two hours before returning to the station. |
