On Monday August 20th, 2018 at 12:34 the Wagontown Fire Company and mutual aid were dispatched to the 500 block of Independance Way in West Caln Township for a building fire. Upon dispatch heavy smoke was noted in the area and appeared to be a working fire. Upon arrival crews found the smoke dying down as on scene personnel were knocking down the fire from spreading into adjacent buildings. Engine 31-1 arrived first due at 12:40 and placed the front bumper line in service. Firefighters found multiple pallets on fire inside of a Kiln building. The fire was quickly under control within 10 minutes of arriving on location and the incident was scaled back to Wagontown, Sadsburyville and Westwood EMS. Engine 31-2 and Engine 35 arrived with additional manpower and supplied Engine 31-1 with water for mop up. |
