Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #2273

The 24-3 box was dispatched class one for a report of a trailer roof on fire at 1317 West Market Street in Williamstown. Truck 22 responded with 7 and Engine 22 with 5. Other companies on the box included 23, 24, Schuylkill companies 647 and 650, and 24 EMS. Engine 23 arrived and set up at the B/C corner and went interior. Truck 22 arrived on side A and laddered the trailer. Engine 24 arrived on side B, with Captain 24 as command. The trailer was having a new roof installed and workers struck a live wire with a nail and saw smoke coming out from under the roof, prompting a call to 911. They had the majority of the fire extinguished on arrival. Crews from 23 found no extension inside and the Truck crew checked the roof and confirmed that the fire was out. Command placed the box in service.
