Around 2:30pm today we were dispatched for a chimney fire in box area 62-06. Upon arrival the ladder truck set up and went to the roof to inspect the inside of the chimney/drop chimney bombs. Engine 62-2 crew went inside and checked the fireplace and determined there was a good bit of debris and embers. Firefighters worked to clear the debris and extinguish what was left with an ABC extinguisher while properly ventilating the house and ensuring no damage was done to contents inside the house.

The following operated on scene for about an hour:

DC. Lapp
Asst. Chief Kling

Engine 62-1 (Driver: G. Sherman, LT Keys, SO Latschar, FF D. Stoltzfus)

Engine 62-2 (Driver: L. Miller, Capt. M. King, FF C. Miller, FF D. Hoak)

Squad 62-1(Fp Capt. Billett, A. Traynor, E. Beiler)

Truck 204 from:

Tuesday afternoon, Witmer Fire, along with West Earl Fire, assisted the Gerald G. Huesken Middle School at their First Responder Club meeting.  The crews worked with the students on how to deploy a hand line and how to pump an engine.  All students in the club are receiving hands on experience in the club.  We were happy to be a part of the experience and look forward to returning in a few weeks when it is time for Tanker Company operations.
