| On Monday December 8th, 2008 at 06:08 hours the Sadsburyville Fire Company was dispatched to the Route 30 Bypass east bound west of Airport Road for a reported vehicle fire. Chief Supplee was the first arriving officer to find a fully involved automobile.
Chief Supplee established Bypass Command while Battalion Chief Grossman assumed the Operations role.
Engine 31-2 responded and was advised to proceed to Airport Road and come westbound in the eastbound lane while the Pennsylvania State Police had all eastbound traffic blocked off.
Rescue 44 was also added to the call due to prior reports of the car fire being in Valley Township.
Chief Supplee advised Engine 31-2 to pull a 1-3/4" hand line to begin fire suppression. Firefighter Zwick began an aggressive attack of the vehicle fire, quickly suppressing the flames.
Rescue 44 arrived shortly after and was advised by command to assist with lighting the scene and also to assist Sadsburyville firefighters with fire suppression.
Command placed the fire under control at 06:23 hours and crews stood by until the local tow company arrived and cleared a short time later at 06:47 hours. |
