Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1074

Company 22 was dispatched to 25 Main Street for a dryer fire in the "Lykens Laundromat". Engine 22 arrived on the scene with an assignment from incident command. Fire was confirmed in a dryer. It was extinguished by firefighters using fire extinguishers, after which dry-chem and a small amount of smoke filled the structure. Engine 23 used negative pressure to ventilate, until Truck 22 responded, non-emergency, with a PPV fan. Truck 22 took over ventilation, while Engine 22 firefighters assisted with salvage and overhaul of the contents of the dryer. A water can was used to cool the dryer and extinguish the remaining contents (bath towels). Lykens PSP also had a unit on the scene to assist.
