Written by Chris Simpson   
October 2, 2011
 
   
At 23:19 Centre County Communications alerted Company 5 for a reported dwelling on fire with entrapment at 829 Elmwood Ave in Lemont PA. Engine 510, Engine 513, Engine 514, Quint 527, Truck 516 and Rescue 518 responded on the run. Quint 527 arrived on scene to a multiple family dwelling with light smoke showing from the rear of the structure and pulled and 1 3/4" cross lay to the rear of the dwelling to an upstairs apartment where they encountered a medium smoke condition. As this was being performed other units arrived on scene. Crew members (firefighter Simpson and firefighter J. Martin) forced entry and found one victim unconscious inside and removed them to awaiting EMS with the assistance from firefighter Bieber. Crews found the cause of the smoke to be burnt food on the stove and the assignment was held to the units on location. Crews performed ventilation and the box was placed in service.
