| On Sunday, June 24th, 2007 the Sadsburyville Fire Company and East Brandywine Fire Company Tanker were dispatched at 22:13 hours to assist the Westwood Fire Company with the reports of a house fire in the 200 block of Glencrest Road in Valley Township. Chief 44 (Sly) responded and was advised of a basement of a house filling with smoke and the residents were evacuating.
Engine 31-2, Engine 31-1 and QRS 31 all responded within six minutes of dispatch with nine volunteers.
Chief 44 (Sly) and Captain 44 (Grossman) arrived on scene with light smoke coming from the front door of the residence. Engine 31-2 arrived, pulled an 1-3/4" hand line, lighted up the scene and met Captain 44 at the front door to be directed to the basement where a small fire in the ceiling was believed to be. Chief 44 had Glencrest Road Command.
Engine 31-1 arrived and assisted with ventilation of the first and second floors of the house and also did a search.
QRS 31 assisted Ambulance 44 with rehabilitation of firefighters after they extinguished the fire.
The fire was quickly contained to the basement with little extension. Sadsburyville crews remained on the scene until 23:13 hours.
