Shrewsbury Volunteers assist Rose Fire Company on working fire with entrapment

 Tony Myers    December 5, 2016    No Comments

This evening Shrewsbury Volunteers were dispatched for a first alarm assignment in New Freedom Borough.  The fire was reported as a well involved structure fire with people trapped.  Engine 61-1, 61-2 and Heavy Rescue 61 responded with 14 personnel.

Engine 61-2 arrived and was directed by Rose Fire Co. Command 58 to take a second attack line into the structure and assist Station 58 members already engaged in fire attack.  Shrewsbury personnel also took out second  floor windows, entered and searched the second and third floor.  Personnel from Rose Fire Co. made a great knock on the fire on the first floor.  Additional personnel found hot spots and extinguished the fire.

The occupant of the structure escaped out a rear door with assistance of a Southern Regional Police officer.  No other people were trapped.  Shrewsbury Volunteers extends a “great job” to Rose Fire Co on fire control.  All personnel arriving did a great job working together.

Departments on the scene were Rose Fire Co., Shrewsbury Volunteers, Glen Rock Hose and Ladder, Maryland Line Fire Co and Eureka Fire Co.  There were no firefighter injuries and the incident s under investigation.

THIS is a danger all emergency service providers as well as towing agencies face everytime we are on the roadway. The crew of this unit had just moved away from the vehicle when the impact occurred.

Last night, Shrewsbury Volunteers were on I83 for a motorcycle accident. While fighting the fire and with traffic cones in place a secondary accident t occurred right next to us. Three vehicles were involved.

Distracted driving is one of the most common causes of accidents. When approaching accident scenes SLOW DOWN, PAY ATTENTION, KEEP MOVING. We want to return home alive.

Shrewsbury Volunteers, one of the first in Pennsylvania, placed the HAAS traffic warning system on our engines and heavy rescue squad to alert motorists of emergency incidents on the Waze traffic apps. Google Maps is currently working on adding this feature. The HAAS app displays our apparatus on roadways to alert you.

Safety is number 1. Our personnel thank you for keeping us safe by paying attention while driving
