Feb 26 -
At 0715 hours, Company 25 was dispatched along with a standard first alarm assignment to 145 Boyer RD for a reported shed fire. E133 was first in and the box was held to E133, E25, and Tanker 33. The involved building was actually a manure shed. The homeowner used a payloader to spread the manure and expose the fire. Unfortunately, the high winds, associated with a winter storm, blew the dried manure across the fire scene and the firefighters. Box 25-05 was placed available at 08:30 hours. A very special thanks to Company 33 for thier assistance at the fire.A short time later at 08:45, E25 was alerted to an auto accident involving a school bus at the intersection of Heisey RD and Park Place. Chief 125 and E25 arrived on scene to find a school bus partially off the roadway with no injuries or students involved. Box 25-09 was placed available a short time later.
The third incident of the day occured at 19:22 hours, when E25 was dispatched for a stove fire reported out in South Middleton Twp at 279 Plaza Dr (Box 35-10).
