Another Fire for Station 43

Station 43 dispatched as second due into Tunkhannock Township to Indian Mountain Lakes Development for a reported working dwelling fire. Carbon County Dist 12 also enroute.

A Busy Friday

Station 43 had a busy day as it started out with a 2nd due call to Polk Township for a fully involved house fire. Units on scene found a single family home fully involved with fire through the roof. Nultiple handlines were used to put the fire out.
The day wrapped up with a Triple Fatal MVA on Route 115 near Merwinsburg Road. Little is known on this call as I wasnt there and only know what I heard on the radio. Was originally dispatched as an MVA with possible entrapment with fire.
During the MVA Station 43 assisted Station 8 with a Respitory Arrest with CPR in progress off of Long Woods Drive.

Another Fire for Station 43

Units were dispatched to a house on Sun Valley Mountain Road for a reported working fire. A Station 39 unit went on scene and reported fire through the roof. Station 43 units arrived on scene and found a very small amount of fire coming from the area of the chimney and smoke coming from the roof. Crews opend up and eventually located the fire in between the wall of the house and the chimney. No one was hurt. This one sounded a lot worse on dispatch and from the first size up- it could have been a lot worse.

Another Busy Week

Station 43 ran two working fires this week. The first at the Country Junction. 43-6-1 was initially requested for the fully involved 3 acre store- the box was upgraded for a full response from Station 43- along with numerous other depts from around the county.

Station 43 then ran a working single wide Mobile Home in Tunkhannock Township. 43-6-1 arrived on scene shortly after station 42 and found a 60% involved Mobile Home. Water supply was an issue while we had to wait for additional tankers. The home was a total loss.
