On Sunday March 5th, 2017 at 1657 the Sadsburyville Fire Company was dispatched to the 100 block of Compass Road in Sadsbury Township for woods on fire. A passerby reported a 400 square foot area of woods on fire and spreading.
Chief Grossman and Assistant Chief Reynolds arrived simultaneously at 1703 and established the incident objectives. Chief Grossman assumed Command and Assistant Chief Reynolds assumed operations. Firefighters were to deploy hose lines to protect the exposures and stop the spread of the fire.
Upon arrival of Engine 31-1, their crew lead off with the 1" trash line and began wetting down the pallets that were an exposure to the woods on fire. Engine 31-2 arrived next and deployed the booster line and knocked down the rest of the fire. Firefighters operated cooperatively with both lines to bring the fire quickly under control at 1710.
The cause of the fire was under investigation. All units cleared the scene at 1730 hours.
