Brush Fire

During the dinner hour, West Bradford Fire Co members were alerted to a brush fire on Seeds Lane. With crews on station before drill night, Brush and Tac 39 made the response shortly after dispatch, Chief 39 went enroute and notified by Deputy 45 via phone that smoke was visibly from Downingtown Borough. Brush and Tac 39 arrived to find a working Brush Fire, Chief 39 arrived and assumed Seeds Command reporting approximately two and a half acres involved with exposure to heavy brush and downed trees from the February Ice Storm, and requested two additional Brush Trucks, which brought Station 37 and 45. The 39 crews and apparatus quickly contained the blaze and the fire was placed under control, Brush 37 was recalled and Brush 45 had the order to proceed in and assist with extinguishing hot spots. Crews cleared after about 90 minutes, returned to station to cleanup and prepare for drill.
