Old Philadelphia Pike Outbuilding Fire
By Firefighter/EMT Christopher Eno
November 2, 2014
At 3:21 PM on Sunday, November 2, Station 49 and surrounding companies were dispatched to the 5000 block of Old Philadelphia Pike (Route 340) in Salisbury Township for a barn fire.
Lancaster County Communications was receiving reports of a small barn with the roof on fire. Information was updated to state that it was a well-involved detached garage with a larger barn and a dwelling as exposures.
Units arrived on scene and confirmed a fully involved outbuilding, and commenced fire attack and exposure protection.
The fire was placed under control at 4:28 PM and was deemed accidental in nature.
Thanks to Christiana Tanker 52-1 for transferring to our station during the incident.
