In the early morning hours of
December 12, 2008, The Hilltown Township Volunteer
Fire Company was alerted to a vehicle on fire that
ran into their firehouse. Responding companies found
one vehicle fully involved with extension into the
building. A 2nd alarm was called for manpower and
additional apparatus. The driver of the vehicle was
killed in the accident. After the fire was
extinguished, there was a great deal of cleanup and
Engine 60 was placed out of service due to damage it
sustained during the fire. Firefighters from
Doylestown loaded up Engine 19-1 and went over to
cover their station for 8 hours during the day.
While there, the crew helped clean up the station,
cleaned the smoked damaged apparatus, and helped to
get turnout gear cleaned as well. Photos were taken
by Larry Browne.
