On Saturday, October 18th, 2014 Engine 31-1 was dispatched at 1255 as the "Rapid Intervention Team" to assist the City of Coatesville Fire Department at a house fire in the 500 block of East Chestnut Street in Coatesville City.

Engine 31-1 responded with a full crew of 6 and arrived on the scene within 6 minutes.

By the time of the arrival of Engine 31-1, firefighters had already extinguished the fire and were working to clear smoke from the home due to the fire.

The crew of Engine 31-1 stood by in the front of the home with tools and equipment to perform a firefighter rescue should it be required. Fortunately, with the fire so quickly extinguished, the Rapid Intervention Team was not needed.

Sadsburyville firefighters remained on the scene and assisted with packing up hoses before returning at 1330.
