On Friday afternoon at 16:50hrs Station 38 was dispatched to assist Station 37 (Modena) along with several other area companies for a garage fire. Chief 37 made the response and was advised of a possible working fire with numerous calls being received. Upon Chief 37's arrival he confirmed a working fire with heavy fire showing from a detached 16x20 garage.

Ladder 41 (Coatesville) arrived first and pulled into the driveway and led off with an 1 3/4 handline. Crews from 37, 76, 38 and 49 began arriving next and assisted with stretching a 2nd handline and forcing entry into the garage. Once crews were able to make access inside the fire was placed under control a short time later.

Crews remained on scene until the Fire Marshal's arrived and were able to investigate. Once given the all clear crews were able to extinguish any hot spots and were able to clear the scene a short time later.
