Buck Toe Hill Rd, Kennet, Pa
Nov 26, 2005

Companies from another attached garage fire around the corner from this one, were diverted to the scene of this fire. This fire I believe went to a 2nd alarm equivalent, with a tanker task force plus tankers from the other fire as they were released. Very large 2 story SFD with attached garage. Garage was well off on F/D's arrival, with extension to the dwelling. At least 6 lines were placed into service, with a tanker shuttle put into place for water supply. Both the Firefighting and tanker ops went smoothly. Crews did a great job of preventing further extension.

4058 Merlin, Charlestown, Pa
Sep 3, 2005

Very large 2 story SFD with attached 2 car garage. Fire started in garage and extended into dwelling. Chief-61 requested the 2nd alarm on arrival. There were other special calls for add'l Engines & Tankers. An interior attack was first mounted, until the fire load became to intense to stay inside. Firefighters backed out and took to an exterior attack before re-entering the dwelling. The fire travelled from the garage, up the "D" wall into the dwelling & across the roof. Large embers from the cedar shake roof, started quite a large brush fire behind the home. They dropped over 2000' of 5" supply line from the tanker ops at the end of the driveway to the house. After the master stream ops were shut down, they had 6 handlines in service.
