S Lincoln Ave Shed Fire
At around 2000 on June 30th Stations 25, 26, 36 & Tanker 14 were dispatched for a Dwelling Fire - Shed on Fire in 25's first due area. Station 25 apparatus were already in the area doing a visit to the Lebanon Valley Business Park off of 419 & State Drive.
Engine 25 had actually just got done refueling at Hess on State & Evergreen Roads, and noticed smoke from the area. No sooner did they get onto the road that the pager went off. While enroute to the scene, the smoke got heavier, and advised county that is was "working". Chief 25 then placed a call for 2 additional tankers (29 & 29-1). Upon arrival on-scene the crew of Engine 25 pulled off a 2-1/2 in crosslay and went to work. Firefighters DeHart & Felty made a quick attack under the guidance of Asst Cheif Kleinfelter.
They quickly brought the fire under control. During the initial attack, some reactive metal was encountered, Asst 25's quick thinking, he covered that area with some D-Class supressant. Firefighters DeHart and Felty then continued on with putting the rest of the fire out. Station 26 personnel along with manpower from 36 then started overhaul. Tanker 14 was on-scene and was tending E25, while Tankers 29 & 29-1 were placed back in service with no services needed from them.
Minor damage was received by the nearby house. That exposure took some heat from the initial fire, melting away a good amount of siding, exposing the insulation.
Stations 25 & 36 remained on site while the Lebanon County Fire Marshalls did their investigation. The only injury was a civilian who was there when the fire started, he was transported to Hershey Medical Center with burns to his upper body.
A good job was done by all on-scene, and thanks to the quick inital attack there was no further damage to the exposure building.
