Safety Officer 541 (Ellis) arrived on scene and reported a fully
involved abandoned farmhouse. Captain 594 (A. Prestia) established
command and placed a special call for Brush 325 (Boalsburg) and tankers
due to the house's remote location. Engine 514 arrived first and
stretched an 1 3/4" and an 2 1/2" attack line for defensive
operations. Engine 510 arrived shortly thereafter and the intial
attack was made with booster tank water from 514 and 510. Tankers 319
and 819 arrived and began a tanker shuttle operation while 512
established a fill site at Scotia Road and Circleville Road.
Units
operated on scene for 2 1/2 hours and the structure was a total loss.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
