Shortly after 8:00 am West Mead crews were dispatched to a dwelling fire on Alden St. West Mead 1 responded with 28-11, 12, 13, and 14. 28-12 set up in the driveway of our Alden Street station and deployed an 1 3/4 line to the side entrance and crews began searching for the source of smoke. After an extensive investigation crews determined a vent issue with an appliance caused the smoke. Crews were assisted by West Mead 2, Saegertown (RIT), and Meadville Ambulance.
