On Wednesday July 13th East Brandywine Fire Company volunteers were dispatched to assist the Thorndale Fire Company on a reported garage fire on North Bailey Road.

Deputy 49 arrived on location and reported smoke showing from a detached two car garage. Shortly after arrival a tanker task force was requested due to lack of hydrants in the area.

Assistant 49 assumed operations and personnel from Stations 38, 75, 47, 41, and 44 worked collaboratively to extinguish the fire.

After the fire was placed under control, personnel remained on scene for about while the Chester County Fire Marshals Office investigated and the incident. Once salvage and overhaul was completed units were released.
