At 11:33 AM West Mead #1 was dispatched with West Mead #2 for a structure fire on Meadowland Drive in our first-due district. En route to the scene, 28-R1 requested an engine from Meadville Central and a tanker from Cochranton. Engines 28-12, 28-13, and 28-11 responded to the scene, with 28-14 bringing manpower from Liberty Street station. On location, 28 personnel confirmed a working fire with smoke showing on the Bravo and Charlie sides of a single-story wood-frame residential structure. The 28-12 crew pulled an 1 3/4″ handline and forced the main door. After a primary search of the first floor, the origin of the fire was located in the basement on the Charlie side, largely extinguished by melted water lines. Crews completed overhaul and returned to service by 2:00 PM.

West Mead #1 VFC thanks our mutual departments for their timely assistance with the fire.
