At 0119 on Friday morning, Tactical Box 35-07 was transmitted for a house on fire in the 1000 block of Cherry Ln in Wrightstown Township bringing LFC and Northampton Township Fire Department Quint, Tanker and Rescue 3. Chief 35 arrived to find a 2 story single family dwelling with well advanced fire throughout and added a Tanker Task Force. Engine 35 arrived first and led off with the deck gun while being supplied by Tanker 35. After quickly making significant progress with the deck gun, crews transitioned to the interior with multiple 1 3/4” lines to extinguish the remaining fire. Crews worked together with mutual aid companies to quickly bring the fire under control. Thank you to our mutual aid companies for your assistance: Newtown Fire Rescue, Upper Makefield Volunteer Fire Company, Midway Volunteer Fire Company, New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company, Warwick Township Fire Company No. 1, Doylestown Fire Company No. 1, Point Pleasant Vol. Fire Co., Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company, and Southampton Fire Company No. 1 Engine 2 for covering Station 35. Chief 35 held Wrightstown Command. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is under investigation by FM278.
When Chief 35 arrived he found the family safely evacuated at their meeting place. Please let this be a reminder to review your home fire escape plan with your family! While we hope you never have to use it, your family being prepared can prevent a tragic outcome!
