Kuhl Hose had a busy start to the week, supporting and working with multiple departments across the area.
Sunday began with a scheduled controlled burn assisting Wattsburg Hose Company at a large barn that had fallen into disrepair and was partially collapsed. Crews protected several outbuildings and a large nearby barn exposure for several hours until the fire no longer posed a danger to surrounding structures.
Sunday afternoon, Kuhl Hose assisted the Corry Fire Department with manpower at a structure fire in Columbus. Before our arrival, crews extricated several critical burn victims, provided treatment, and transported them to appropriate care.
Engine 683 responded with four and remained on scene for several hours, assisting with overhaul and extinguishing the remaining fire. Kuhl Hose worked alongside both local and distant mutual aide companies throughout the operation to complete the assigned tasks. Departments from 4 counties were on scene.
Clymer Volunteer Fire Company , Union City Volunteer Fire Company, Elgin-Beaverdam Hose Company, Stancliff Hose Company, Waterford PA, Wrightsville Vol. Fire Dept, Spartansburg Volunteer Fire Department , Garland, PA.
