5/6 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. |
