 It was a busy day for the 715 Volunteers. The day began early at 2am assisting West Hempfield with an automatic alarm. Units were quickly cleared by Chief 761. A short time later at 3am Squad 715 was requested on the working fire dispatch to Spencer Ave in Lancaster Township. Crews from Company 66 had arrived on scene with fire showing from a 1 1/2 story residence. Squad 715 arrived and the crew went to work providing lighting, air, and overhaul. Squad 715 operated for approx. 2 hours on the Lancaster Township incident.
Units from 715 also made responses for a gas leak and a class 1 vehicle accident on Rt 30 throughout the day.
In the evening units from 715 and 76, as part of a joint training effort, meet at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center to train on vehicle rescue practices. Crews preformed stabilization and practiced lifting a bus off of a vehicle with air bags. Minutes within leaving the training center units from 715 and 76 were alerted to the 4000 block of Columbia Ave for a vehicle accident. E7152, Squad 715, and Rescue 76 immediately responded. Chief 761 arrived to find one vehicle that struck a utility pole and sheered it off. Crews preformed hazard control and patient care before clearing the incident. |
