| On Wednesday, January 8th, 2025, at 10:37, the Westwood, Modena, Sadsburyville, and Cochranville Fire Companies, along with the Keystone Valley and Coatesville Fire Departments, were dispatched to the 300 block of Doe Run Road in East Fallowfield Township for a building fire.
Engine 44-5 was the first unit to arrive, and crews quickly advanced a hose line into the building. Squad 37 was the second unit on scene and established a supply line to a fire hydrant located at Newlinville Road and Doe Run Road. Modena Assistant Chief Bryant was assigned as division one supervisor and reported a ceiling on fire, which appeared to be extinguished at that time.
Coatesville Ladder 41 arrived as the first truck and raised their ladder to the roof. Once on the roof, firefighters used saws to cut open the roof and expose the fire area. Firefighters on division one applied water to the affected area, and the situation was brought under control within minutes.
Belfor Property Restoration was called to the scene to secure the roof opening on the building. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
