Tonight the company was dispatched to 255 E. Beaver Ave. for a building fire.  As units were responding they were advised of a dumpster fire in the "basement" and the building filling with smoke.  Engine 510 arrived on scene with a working dumpster fire, the dumpster was located in the lower parking deck area.  Crews from Truck 516, Engine 514, and Engine 512, all assisted with evacuation and ventilation of the building.  The heavy amounts of smoke in the building was caused by the trash chute.  There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.

While on this call the company received an additional alarm for an automatic fire alarm at the 501 Vairo Blvd.  Thanks to Boalsburg (Engine 310) for taking in that call.
