Truck 517 responded and upon arrival set-up and began master stream operations. At approximately 08:15 hrs. an engine from the Alpha's was requested, Engine 511 responded. When 511 arrived on scene they dropped 5" supply line to draft out of the creek to supply ground monitors, unfortunately due to a mechanical problem Engine 511 was unable to establish a draft and was reassigned to staging in the municipal parking lot. The crew then went and assisted the crew from Truck 517. The engine operated on scene until approximately 18:00 hrs. and the truck remained on scene until approximately 21:00 hrs. Operating on the scene were about 150 firefighters from both Centre and Clinton counties. The Bush House, at 315 High Street, a historic landmark is destroyed.
