All Volunteer Stations, 19 & 79, Bucks County, PA

  On March 14th, 2007, Doylestown Fire Company was dispatched to assist the Warrington Fire Company with an apartment fire. Rescue 19 was dispatched first to standby as the Rapid Intervention Team. Shortly after, Ladder 79 was dispatched as well. Both Trucks responded to 1700 Place to assist with the multi-alarm apartment fire. On arrival, heavy smoke and fire was seen venting through the roof and command ordered all interior operations out of the building. The Rescue crew staged side C of the building and the Ladder crew staged on side A and went in service with the ladder pipe. The fire was put under control 45 minutes after dispatch. Ladder 79's crew was allowed back inside to perform a floor by floor search of the building. Both crews were then made available and back home by 2200hrs. (Photos by Sara Grogan)
