At 1:07am, The Doylestown Fire
Company was dispatched for a tactical box at 464
Edison Furlong Road for a dwelling fire. First
arriving police officers reported a working house
fire with a bulk of fire towards the front of the
building. Battalion 19, Ed Truman, ordered 2 tankers
to be assigned to the box due to lack of hydrants on
Edison-Furlong road. Truman arrived on scene and
confirmed heavy fire side A of the structure. All
residents were out of the building with no
entrapment. Ladder 79 and then Engine 19 arrived and
went to work stretching two hand lines to the rear
of the building to begin knocking the fire. Engine
79 arrived to assist with the tanker shuttle and
Rescue 19 provided an air cascade. Additional pieces
on scene from Midway, Lingohocken, Chalfont,
Warwick, and Warrington. Crews were on scene for an
extended amount of time controlling the fire and
assisting with overhaul. Photos by Larry Browne,
Denny Loux Sr., and Sara Grogan.
