Rescue 50 *Ride Along* Back to Back Working Building Fires

Video Overview & Insights

Rescue 50 was dispatched to assist Station 59 (Refton) with a dwelling. Units arrived finding smoke showing from all sides. Rescue 50 assisted with stretching a second line off of Engine 59-1, and checking for extension on the second floor. Crews from 50 and 57 removed two pets from the house, who unfortunately succumbed to their injuries. While units were working on ventilation and overhaul, the prealert sounded for an outbuilding in West Lampeter Twp. Units began freeing up from the house fire and responded directly to the second incident. Multiple calls were received reporting a large chicken house on fire prompting the incident to be upgraded to a barn. Units arrived finding a nearly 500' long chicken house that was approximately 50% involved. Crews stretched lines and utilized towers to try and limit the fire spread. There is not much footage from the second fire, as my cameras were already low on battery from the first fire, so some pictures are included at the end. Willow Street Fire Company. Taken 6/17/26
