July 29, 2009- At 20:58 Liberty Station # 4 was dispatched to assist Districts 47, 42, and 56 (Landingville, Deer Lake, and Orwigsburg) on a possible house fire. As Engine 737 and Tanker 738 went repsonding, they were advised that due to a thunderstrom in the area, lightning had struck the house at 3 Main Street, community of Landingville. Incident command Chief 47 (Hoffman) arrived on scene with nothing showing from the exterior, and asked all incoming units to do a search of the inside of the house. Once 737 and 738 arrived on scene, the crews were split up, with one crew searching the third floor and the other in the basement area. After a search with thermal imaging cameras, it was determined that there was no extension into the house from the lightning strike. All units remained on scene for just over 1 hour.
