At 2039 hours, Oakland District and New Manchester Fire Departments were dispatched to a reported structure fire on Gaston Road. Engine 50 responded with five personnel, accompanied by Tanker 55 with one personnel member. New Cumberland was also dispatched to provide additional manpower.

Engine 50 arrived shortly behind Oakland Engine 82. The bulk of the fire was knocked down through exterior operations while Engine 50 personnel initiated an interior attack. Engine 50 also supplied water to Engine 82 before assisting New Cumberland personnel with ventilation operations.

Due to the incident’s water supply needs, the Tanker Task Force was requested, bringing additional tankers and personnel from Newell, Chester, and Lawrenceville.

Units operated on scene for approximately three hours before returning to service.

Special thanks to Chester Volunteer Fire Department for allowing us to use their fire safety trailer.

The weather may be beautiful today, but it can get ugly quickly if you decide to burn. We are at the height of forest fire season and the ban on burning. Please follow the law: Do not burn during restricted hours, and if you burn when legal, take all the appropriate precautions.
