7/6/2005, Box 79-20, 79 Radcliffe Drive, Doylestown Township, Dwelling

Stations 19 and 79 were dispatched to a reported dwelling fire at 79 Radcliffe Drive in Doylestown Township on July 6, 2005, just before 7 PM. Battalion 79, Paul Kreuter, was first on scene and reported heavy smoke throughout the first floor of the 2 story colonial and ordered the first engine to lead off. Engine 79 arrived and pulled a line to the garage. Ladder 79 arrived a short time after and started ventilation. The fire was quickly knocked down with a pressurized water extinguisher, preventing more property damage. After checking for extension with a thermal imaging camera, the companies were released and everyone returned to Station 19 for the monthly business meeting.

Engine 19 is prepared for aggressive interior attack.
