Fire District 63

July 18, 2010- Apartment Building Fire in the 56 District

July 18, 2010-  At 12:14 the Rainbow Hose was dispatched for Ladder 725 to assist districts 56, 42 and 47 (Orwigsburg, Deer Lake and Landingville) on a possible apartment building fire at 635 West Cherry Street, Orwigsburg Boro.  The first arriving chief (56-02- Fessler) got on scene with nothing showing from the exterior.  After a brief investigation, he found that the fire was out but there was still smoke in the building.  As everything was going on, it was also found that one of the residents was burned by the grease fire and the Medics already on scene requested to fly the victim.  Chief Fessler held the units that were already on location, and diverted the apparatus still on their way to the Blue Mountain High School to set up an LZ for the injured patient.
