Just when everyone was about
to go to sleep on Saturday Night, May 31, 2008, the
county dispatched the Doylestown Fire Company to yet
another call with fire reported. Battalion 79 Paul
Kreuter was first on scene and reported fire coming
from the eves of a dwelling. Chief 19 Denny Loux
established command and advised incoming apparatus
of what was happening. Engine 19 was first on scene
and stretched a handline to the interior. The crew
from Ladder 79 went to the roof and threw ladders to
the burning vent. Crews on the interior found no
fire conditions and reported that the fire had not
spread to the interior of the house. Crews removed
siding from the house to check for exterior
extension. The fire was put out quick and kept the
house from any severe damage. Photos by Larry
