Companies 22, 23, and Engine 24 dispatched to the Reiff and Nestor Plant at 50 Reiff Street in Lykens for a water flow alarm. Engine 22 responded with 4, Truck 22 with 4, and Chief 22 and Lieutenant 22-1 POV to the scene. Engine and Rescue 23 and Engine 24 also responded. Chief 22 arrived on scene and assumed command. The Borough Water Authority was out flushing hydrants, and had just finished flushing the hydrant in front of the plant when the alarm came in.
