This evening, just before 10:00 PM, volunteers from the East Brandywine Fire Company were dispatched to assist the Lionville Fire Company and surrounding mutual aid departments at a working house fire in Uwchlan Township.
EBFC responded as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), a crew of firefighters specifically assigned to stand by and be ready to assist or rescue firefighters should an emergency occur while operating on the fireground.
First-arriving crews from Lionville and other responding companies encountered a working fire in an attached garage, with fire extending into the second floor of the residence.
EBFC personnel remained on scene for approximately 30 minutes before being released by command. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
East Brandywine Fire Company responded with 10 volunteer members.
We commend the first-arriving crews for their quick work in bringing the fire under control and are always proud to assist our neighboring departments when called upon. |
