| First arriving units had smoke at the front door upon entry and stretched a dry line to the Alpha Side. Crews attempted to find the fire throughout the structure and ended up locating fire in the walls on the bravo side in a bathroom and bedroom.
Additionally it was found that siding was melted on the bravo side of the building. The area was opened up finding a fire had started outside and spread into the structure from that location. Crews spent a significant amount of time performing overhaul in the affected areas and soaking everything down thoroughly . Members made entry into the crawl space as well to confirm the extension of the fire and soak the area down.
Strong coordination amongst multiple departments was the contributing factor for locating this tricky fire and providing a positive outcome for the homeowners.
Responding Departments: North Middleton Fire Company Carlisle Fire & Rescue Services, Cumberland Valley IAFF F-109, Newkingstown Fire Company & Shermansdale Community Fire co.
