Working Fire In The First Due

Friday Morning at 09:46 hours LCWC dispatched box 62-6 for a reported Dwelling Fire on Aberley Lane in the Devon Creek Development off New Holland Pike. Chief 62(KAUFFMAN) went en route and reported a column of smoke from several miles out. East Lampeter PD arrived and reported a garage fully involved attached to a residence with the fire catching the adjacent residence on fire. Upon arrival Chief 62 requested a 2nd Alarm assignment which brought over 10 mutual aid departments to the scene. Engine 62-2 arrived and their crew advanced two 200 ft.1″1/2 attack lines to the residence next to the main fire building and were able to contain the fire to the garage of that residence before it spread to the house. Units from 20(MTFR),61(UPPER LEACOCK),41(BIRD-IN-HAND),63(LAFAYETTE) and 29(WEST EARL) arrived and assisted with fire suppression while the remainder of the 2nd alarm units staged and were used as needed. Units from 62 and 63 remained on the scene for extensive overhaul and cleared just before 15:00 hours. We would like to thank all the mutual aid companies for the assist on a hot day.
