Yesterday evening at approximately 8:08 pm, the Clifton Heights Fire Company along with Collingdale Fire Company - Station 33, Glenolden Fire Company Station 5, and Darby Fire Co. No.1 EMS were dispatched to the 400 block of Laurel Ave. in Aldan Borough for the building fire involving a detached garage. Chief, Quint, and Engine 3 went responding immediately after dispatch and were quickly informed by Ambulance 4 that there was fire showing. Chief 3 arrived and assumed Laurel Command as Quint 3 arrived as first due truck and gained access to the garage while Engine 3 took the first due engine assignment, secured a water supply and stretched multiple attack lines. Due to the conditions upon arrival, Chief 3 requested the working fire dispatch bringing more resources to the scene. Due to a large amount of hazardous liquids, the Delaware County Hazmat Team also made the response. Companies operated for approximately 4 hours before being released. Thank you to our mutual aid for their assistance with fire suppression, overhaul, and cleanup!
