The Drexel Hill Volunteers were at it again, this time in the local. Companies were dispatched to 244 Bridge Street for a report of a structure fire. As units went responding, Fireboard advised that multiple calls for being received for smoke coming from the dwelling. Engine 20-1, under the command of Deputy Chief Mike Morgan, arrived first reporting heavy fire showing from the rear and went in service with an 1-3/4" handline. Engine 20-2 & Chief 20-9 (Hoban) arrived next as water supply was established and 20-9 assumed Command. Ladder 20 handled a primary search & ventilation from the front, as Ladder 26 vented from the rear. The bulk of the fire was knocked within the first 10 minute mark and the fire was placed under control shortly after. Units remained on scene checking for extension and ventilating before returning to service just after 2PM.

Units on scene: 20-1, 20-2, Ladder 20, Rescue 20, Ladder 26 (Highland Park), 36-2 (Cardington-Stonehurst), Quint 37 (Upper Darby), RIT 74 (Primos-Secane), 103-7 (Delco Medics), & 03-7 (Clifton Heights)
