Around 6 PM Friday both West Mead fire departments were dispatched with West Mead PD and Meadville Ambulance to the North Side Laundromat for a dryer fire. Additional callers reported a working fire with flames and smoke showing at the structure. West Mead 2 then requested Crawford County 911 to fill the box alarm for the location bringing Meadville Central, Vernon Central, and Vernon Township to the scene. Crews from 28-13 and 28-12 assisted with the backup line and overhaul of the structure. Crews operated approximately two hours before returning and going in service.
