The morning of December 16th
was quite busy for the fire company. We were all
woken up at 545 for a call reporting wires down.
Quickly after the first dispatch, the fire company
was dispatched for 5 more calls ranging from wires,
alarm systems, and even a downed tree into a house.
While Engine 19-1 handled the wires down calls,
Ladder 79 and Engine 19 were directed to Lancaster
Ave to assist a homeowner who had a large tree fall
on their house. Crews worked to secure the utilities
to the dwelling and also worked to protect the
contents of the house from additional damage. In
all, 10 calls were run in 24 hours during the ice
storm. Luckily, no injuries were reported. Photos by
