November 26, 2011 – At 18:24 the Schuylkill Haven Fire Department was dispatched along with Fire District 41 (Cressona) to the area of Front and Railroad Streets for a commercial structure fire. As units began to respond SCCC advised of a working fire with flames through the roof of the Cressona Textile building. Crews arrived on scene and immediately setup a defensive attack as the structure was fully involved with fire. E-732 hit a hydrant at Railroad Street and established a supply line to multiple master streams including Ladder 51 (Pottsville) and Ladder 519 (Minersville). E-737 was then supplied on side C of the structure via 3inch from Ladder 519. Chief 730 (Reed) also requested a tanker task force which brought tankers from surrounding areas including Landingville, Mount Carbon, Deer Lake, Summit Station, and Freidensburg. All units remained on scene for approximately 10 hours. Chief 730 (Reed) had command.
