February 17, 2007

A first alarm assignment was dispatched for a structure fire at 611 Main Street, bringing Company 22, Engine 23, Engine 24, Rescue 21, Truck 20, and Schuylkill Air-Light 66-60. Engine 22 responded with a crew of six, and Truck 22 responded with a crew of five. Chief 22 and Chief 22-1 arrived on the scene via POV and were met by Lykens Borough PD. Smoke was pushing out of the second floor of a two story building, from an apartment above the Chinese Restaurant. Engine 22 was positioned at the A/B corner of the building, Engine 23 was positioned at the A/D corner, and Truck 22 was positioned directly in front of the building, on side A. Engine 24 stood by at the intersection of Main and Market Streets with Rescue 21 (to act as RIT). Air-Light 66-60 (Tower City) was also there. Company 66 and Truck 20 were placed in service. The first line in, with a crew of two firefighters from Company 23 and two others from Company 22 located fire in the bathroom. It appeared that a hair dryer was left plugged in and turned on. It had burned through the counter top and into the floor and wall. Water pipes in bathroom appeared to have burst, helping to control the spread of the fire. Overall, there was probably less than 15 gallons of water used to put out the fire, but there was extensive water damage down through the floor into the Restaurant below caused by the broken water pipes.
