| On February 6th, 2014 at 1857 hours, the Sadsburyville Fire Company was dispatched to assist the Wagontown Fire Company on a house fire in the 100 block of Karen Circle in West Caln Township. Also on the assignment was the Westwood Fire Company, Honey Brook Fire Company Tanker and Keystone Valley Fire Department Ladder.
The caller reported a house on fire across the street from their residence, unknown of the exact address. At 1904 hours Battalion Chief John Sly arrived on location and confirmed a working fire on the bravo side of the 2 story dwelling. Battalion Chief Sly assumed Karen Circle Command and directed Engine 31-1 to take the driveway and deploy a hose line to the exterior and the interior of the dwelling.
Engine 31-1 with a crew of 6 led by Captain Loesch arrived at 1907 hours and ran both 200' cross lays to the structure as directed to. Firefighters entered the structure and began a search for occupants as the neighbors believed the occupants of the structure to be home. The exterior fire was knocked down quickly and firefighters entered the structure to check for extension.
A negative search came back on occupants on both the primary and secondary searches. Some walls and ceilings were opened up by Sadsburyville and Wagontown firefighters and the fire was extinguished being placed under control at 1913 hours.
Firefighters remained on the scene cleaning up equipment and racking back on hose lines to Engine 31-1 before being released at 2117 hours. |
