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.

Around 11:30 AM the Alpha Fire Co. was requested to assist Port Matilda Fire Co. with a vehicle accident with entrapment on S. Eagle Valley Rd. in the area of the Penn DOT shed.  Engine 514 responded on the call.  While units were enroute they were advised that an EMT was on scene reporting no entrapment.

Chief 1500 and Rescue 1518 arrived on scene and reported a two vehicle accident with both vehicles in a drainage ditch.  A construction vehicle was leaking diesel fuel. 

When Engine 514 arrived on scene the occupant of a mini van had already been extricated from the vehicle and loaded into the ambulance.  The crew from 514 was requested to deploy a protection line until the arrival of the towing companies.

Units returned to service at approximately 1:30 PM.
