Early this morning, volunteers from Manheim were dispatched to assist Penryn Fire
Department on a house fire on Lebanon Road in Penn Township. Engine 2-6-2 went
enroute with a crew of 5 and were the 2nd arriving unit. With fire rolling out of a
window on the rear corner of the building, engine 2-6-2 quickly vented the rest of the
window and made a knock on the fire while the crew of engine 2-8-2 were making
entry through a rear door. Engine 2-6-2 then proceeded up the stairs and made entry
to the 2nd floor via the partially burned deck, making a fast primary search while
venting windows and checking for extension. All occupants were confirmed out of the
house and crews exited the building. Tanker 2-6 set up water supply to engine 2-6-2
and the crews from truck 2-6 and rescue 2-6 assisted with throwing ladders and
ouside ventilation. Units spent a total of 2 hours in service.
