An early morning fire was
reported at 635 North Main Street in
Doylestown Township on Thursday, May 14. Battalion
Chief 79 Paul Kreuter was first on scene and
reported smoke and fire visible from the building.
Engine 19 arrived and stretched a hand line interior
to the 2nd floor while Ladder 79 opened up the
building. Additional apparatus was on scene for
manpower from Midway, Warrington, and Plumsteadville
Fire Companies. The fire was quickly knocked
limiting damage to the first floor ski shop, but
water and smoke caused some damage to the 2nd floor
unoccupied space where the fire originated. The fire
was placed under control within 30 minutes. Ladder
79 stayed on scene to provide lighting for the
county fire marshal to investigate. Photos by Larry
