At 4:00pm on Monday April 27,
2009, The Doylestown Fire Company was dispatched for
a dwelling fire at Sandy Ridge and Iron Hill Roads
in Doylestown Township. First arriving units
reported a vacant house under construction fully
involved. Companies took a defensive approach to the
fire using ground and aerial master streams and
focused on protecting the exposure buildings. Due to
the heat and low humidity, the grass around the
dwelling caught on fire and had to be extinguished
as well. Local and County Fire Marshals are
investigating the fire. Photos by Sara Grogan and
