On Saturday, September 12 at
approximately 22:12 hours CCECC dispatched Company 5 to the Ambassador
Building, 412 E Beaver Avenue for a building fire with reports of smoke issuing
from the door of an apartment on the top floor. Engine 510 and Chief 502
(Kuchmay) arrived within a minute and a half of dispatch and confirmed active
smoke with some heat radiated to the door. Engine 510 officer (Lesak 595)
requested the leader line into the stairwell as this building is non
sprinklered and has no standpipe. Upon forcing the door of the apartment, the
crew found a smoldering fire involving the stove with extension to the cabinets
above. Crews extinguished the fire, ventilated, and checked for extension. The
apartment tenant was not home at the time of the fire. The apartment suffered
moderate fire damage in the kitchen and heavy smoke damage throughout.
Units cleared at approximately 23:21 hours.

At 8:30 PM the Alpha's were alerted to a working vehicle fire in front of Watkins Dairyette on E. Pine Grove Rd. in Ferguson Township. Chief S. Clouser (500), Engine 510 and 514 responded on the call. Engine 510 arrived on scene first to find a fully involved pick-up truck. The crew stretched a 1 3/4" attack line to begin extinguishing the fire.
While the crew from 510 was operating they encountered an area of the vehicle that was magnesium. As a precaution Engine 514 was asked to establish a supply line to 510 in case 514 was needed to nurse 510.
The crew from 514 then assisted 510's crew with final overhaul and mop-up. Units operated on the scene for about 1 hour.
The cause of the fire is not yet known and is under investigation by the Ferguson Township Police.
