Crews secured the sprinkler system and ventilated. No further extension was found.
Tuesday 8/12 around 07:00 Engine 241 and the Tanker responded to Young Dr in West Pennsboro Twp (46 box) for smoke from a house. Engine 241 arrived on scene with normal conditions from side A. The crew investigated finding an outside fire on the C side that was extinguished with a garden hose prior to arrival. Crews checked for extension and ventilated.
Both fires appear to be electrical in nature.
We have a lot of people ask us what our “Miscellaneous Fire” category is on our call reports, both of the above fires fall into that category. They are not “working fires” but are also more than just a simple electrical fire. |
