Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1102

The company was dispatched to a location behind the former Rip's Country Deli on Route-209 in Williams Township for a reported structure fire. Chief-24 was first on the scene and found a cabin located ? mile off of Route-209, on Stiners Road, well involved. No access to the cabin was available for fire apparatus. Truck-22 arrived at the staging area on Route-209. Chief-24 sent brush units from Muir and Wiconisco and a tanker from Wiconisco up a treacherous road to the fire. All other responding units, including Engine-22, were released due to the inaccessable location.

It was noted by Truck personnel, that on return to Lykens via 'Old-209', the flames of the burning cabin could be seen on the mountain, creating feelings of helplessness.
