On Saturday April 13th at 5:15am East Brandywine Fire Company volunteers responded to Uwchlan Township to assist the Lionville Fire Company on a building fire.

The fire occurred in the 500 block of West Uwchlan Avenue at C and S Repair Center. Initial calls to the 911 Center reported flames coming from the whole building.

Engines 49-1, 49-2, and Ladder 49 made the response in order to provide Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) support. Upon arrival the assignment was changed and personnel were asked to engage in fire suppression activities.

Engine 49-1 secured a second hydrant for water supply operations, while crews from Ladder 49 and Engine 49-2 assisted on the fire ground.

Units cleared the scene at around 9am.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the owners as well as the employees who are effected by this fire.

Thank-you to the Glen Moore Fire Company for providing stand-by coverage for us during the fire.
