Pennsylvania Fire Crews Battle Fully Involved Dwelling Fire

At approximately 18:19 hours on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 27, BOX Alarm 17 was transmitted to 359 East Church Street for a reported house fire. Crews from the East Cocalico (PA) Fire Departments–Reamstown, Smokestown, and Stevens–arrived on location with a 1.5-story Type III wood frame dwelling.

The sturcture was fully involved and located about 800 feet up a tight dirt driveway. The Church Street command requested additional tankers and engine companies as the area had no hydrants. Firefighters went defensive on arrival and had all visible fire knocked in about 10 minutes of their arrival.
