Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #1480

While the line officers were attending a meeting at Station 22, Dauphin County paged Chief 22 to call the communications center. The Chief was advised of a water line break in the basement of the multi-family apartment building on Spruce Street, which was formerly the old opera house. Chiefs 22 and 22-1 responded class 3 to the scene, and requested Engine 22 to respond to assist. Engine 22 responded class 3, and found that Chief 22-1 had shut off the water line to the laundry room in the basement. Approximately five inches of water covered the floor. A portable trash pump was placed in the laundry room and the water was pumped outside to the street, after which, the crew cleaned up the equipment and went available.
