Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #589

Truck 22 was dispatched to the Mauser Potato Plant outside of Sacramento, Schuylkill County, for a structure fire. Truck 22 responded with a crew of five and found a large 300 foot by 75 foot metal and concrete manufactured building with fire in the crawl space above the work area and below the roof. The truck was set up on side 2 and a crew went to the roof in the bucket and vented it above the fire. The rest of the crew went interior and assisted crews working on the scene with suppression and overhaul activities. Fire was deep seated in the timbers under the roof, and extinguishment was accomplished through numerous hand lines. The truck crew remained on scene until released by command. Other units on scene included Sacramento, Gratz, Pillow, Hegins, and Valley View.
