| On Friday evening, Station 39 was dispatched for an engine to relocate to Station 22 in West Grove while Station 22 was busy assisting at a building fire. As Engine 39-1 responded to West Grove, the engine was dispatched for downed wires just down the road from station 22. Engine 39-1 arrived on scene and gave the county dispatcher the needed information to pass on to PECO. With the situation handled, Engine 39-1 cleared the scene and proceeded to station 22.
The crew of engine 39-1 did not have to wait long before they were dispatched for another wires call, this time covering for Station 23 (Avondale Fire Company). Again, the information was given to the dispatcher to pass onto PECO, and the engine soon cleared the scene.
Before the crew could sit down and rest, Engine 39-1 was again dispatched with West Grove for a wires call just down the road from Station 22, in the same area as the first call. Chief 22 and Engine 39-1 made the response. While en-route to the incident, Chief 22 diverted to handle a 2nd call in his local for a fire alarm. Engine 39-1 arrived to find the state police had already blocked the road and had the incident under control. Meanwhile, Chief 22 requested to upgrade the fire alarm to a house fire after learning there was a fire in the attic. Engine 39-1 responded from the scene of the wires call and assisted with water supply and manpower.
Engine 39-1 finally cleared and got back home just short of 7 hours after first being dispatched for the relocate.
While engine 39-1 was covering for West Grove, Engine 39-2 handled a fire alarm in West Bradford and fire police were dispatched to assist Thorndale on an auto accident.The final tally came to a total of 7 calls for the company. |
