December 3, 2007 | | | | | | On Monday, December 3rd, the Alpha’s were kept busy with multiple calls. The day was started off with a vehicle fire and an automatic fire alarm. Just before 4pm, Company 5 was alerted for a reported flue fire, with flames coming from the chimney in College Township. The call was determined to be unfounded. Later in the evening, during the weekly work night, members were repacking hose when the company was dispatched to the Chemistry Building on the Penn State Campus for a fire in the elevator shaft. Engines 510, 514, Trucks 516, 517 and Rescue 518 all responded promptly and arrived to find a smoke condition and fire on the 4th floor. Crews from 516 and 518 extinguished the flames with a pressurized water can while crews from 514 and 510 stretched attack lines from the building's stand pipe system as a precaution. Approximately two hours later the company was dispatched to the Metro Café on East College Avenue for a reported structure fire with flames showing inside the store. 510, 514, 516, and 518 responded and arrived on scene with fire on the counter. Crew from 516 extinguished it with a water can and performed Positive Pressure Ventilation. The bunk-in crew finished up the night with another automatic fire alarm at a local fraternity. | |
