PRE-ARRIVAL: Balcony fire at apartment complex

Whitehall Township

The box was transmitted at 02:47AM for a reported apartment building fire at 1251 Broad Street.

With 9-1-1 receiving multiple calls, police arrive moments later and report an apartment fire on the 2nd floor and are evacuating the building.

Engine 1 (LC3611) arrives with two personnel and stretch a hand line to top floor apartment for a balcony burning.

The 2nd Engine (2) arrives and the Assistant Chief throws a ladder to the 3rd floor and stretches a booster line and extinguishes the fire from the ground. The interior line wasn’t used.

The fire was extinguished quickly and the two F.A.S.T. companies on the box were returned.
