C42 & C42-2 arrived on scene with heavy fire, followed immediately by T21 and E21-2. Truck crew split, with the inside crew performing primary search and fire control with a PW and outside truck laddering the structure and venting the roof. Engine crews deployed the 300’ and 200’

R21, E21, and Fire Police responded to a vehicle into a structure along Route 19 earlier this afternoon. Luckily, no vehicle passengers nor patrons in the storefront were injured. Special thanks to the Marines next door for assisting with cleanup!
The entry level program was working on firefighter survival and we are also hosting our first proboard driver operator for engine and aerial.
We have several new recruits in the entry level program as well as our instructors from Cranberry teaching it.
