Furnace Malfunction in Valley Township
By Lieutenant Adam Grossman
April 15, 2007
On Sunday April 15th, 2007 the Sadsburyville Fire Company was dispatched to assist the Westwood Fire Company at 1208 hours for the reports of a house fire in the 900 block of Lincoln Highway in the Hayti Section of Valley Township. Engine 31-1 and Engine 31-2 made the response within minutes.
Assistant Chief Trader was first on location and advised of a light smoke condition in the house and appeared to be a furnace malfunction. Engine 31-2 and Engine 31-1 arrived a short time later and began investigating the Assistant's reports.
Crews confirmed the report and turned off the power to the furnace in the basement. In addition a positive pressure fan was set up at the front door to blow the smoke out of the house. Sadsburyville units returned a short while later.
Units:
Engine 31-1, Engine 31-2
Mutual Aid:
Westwood Engine 44-5 and Rescue 44, Cochranville Engine 27-5
