Just before 2000 hours last night, the house fire assignment was dispatched to the 100 Block of Griffith St in Upland. Engine 65 with a crew of 5 made the response. Units arrived on scene with nothing evident from the exterior. As crews entered the house, they were met with an odor and haze of smoke. After investigating, crews located a fire in the attic. The fire was quickly extinguished and units overhauled to check for any further extension. Chief 57 had the command.
We would like to send our condolences to the Swarthmore Fire & Protective Assn. - Station 14 on the passing of Past President Laurence “Larry” Luder. Please keep the members of station 14 and Larry’s family and friends in your thoughts and prayers. RIP
Over the last 48 hours, our members have handled 20+ emergencies. Last night around 2200 hours, township companies were dispatched to the 300 Block of Media Parkway for reported house fire. Engine 65 arrived to find nothing evident from the exterior. As crews made entry into the house, they found smoke throughout the house and located a fire in the kitchen. A line was placed in service and the fire was quickly knocked down and the assignment was scaled back. Assistant 65 had the command.
As always you guys are there to answer the call. Thank you all for you continued dedication and service to the residents of the township!
Good Job Guys!
