This afternoon, around 3:30 PM, Company 26 was dispatched out for a vehicle accident reported with rollover and entrapment on Fruitville Pike. Rescue 26 and Utility 26-1 both made the response, along with Rescue 23 out of East Petersburg Volunteer Fire Company Station 23. Units arrived to find 1 vehicle on its side with the driver still trapped inside. Rescue 26 crew quickly stabilized the vehicle and cut the sun roof so the driver could self extricate.

While on scene of that MVA, another accident was dispatched in East Petersburg Borough and was quickly upgraded involving entrapment. Rescue 23 along with Rescue 26 both made the response. A Chief Officer from 23 arrived and discovered no entrapment, with that additional Rescue 26 was then recalled.

This brings the total to 3 calls today, all 3 of them being motor vehicle accidents.

Members worked on several different skills such as;

- Commercial Roof Cutting
-Search
-Forcible Entry
-Firefighter Rescue (RIT)
-Firefighter Survival
-Wall Breaching
-Rope Rescue
-Other Misc Skills

Manheim Fire Department is incredibly grateful for the opportunity and we certainly made the most of the building while we could.

This morning, just after 4AM, Company 26 along with mutual aid departments were dispatched to the first block of West Stiegel Street for a reported structure fire.

Assistant 26-2 arrived shortly after dispatch with nothing evident on the exterior. Engine 26 arrived soon after and discovered a working fire on the third floor. Crews had a quick knock on the visible fire. However due to the large amount of void spaces in the structure, the fire spread rapidly before it was located.

Engine 26 and Tower 26 Crews were operating on the third floor which quickly advanced to high heat and low visibility with fire throughout the entire Charlie side of the structure.

Crews from 26 and mutual aid companies successfully put a stop to the fire before there was any extension to the rest of the house. Crews operated on scene for just under 3 hours.

Thank you to our mutual aid companies that responded and assisted on scene.
