March 28, 2012 – At 17:08 Stations 1 & 4 were dispatched along with Fire District 41 (Cressona) to 1046 Woodland Drive, North Manheim Twp. for a reported structure fire. Chief 41 (Mansell) arrived on scene to find a small house with heavy fire coming from the roof area and rear of the structure. Chief 41 immediately added SHFD Station 2, Pottsville RIT, and a first alarm tanker task force due to the lack of hydrants. E-737 stretched a 5″ supply line to the tanker dump site, and established a water supply feeding E-41-17. Ladder 725 and crews from Station 2 went to work on the roof and attic, cutting two vent holes for ventilation. All SHFD crews assisted with fire suppression, ventilation and overhauling operations. T-738 dumped three loads of water during the tanker shuttling. Units from the SHFD remained on scene for approximately 3 hours. Chief 41 (Mansell) had command. Photos via Coal Region Fire.
