JASON MCCULLY Firefighters Battle House Fire Fire billows out of the second floor of this house in Warwick Twp.

in Warwick Twp.

Warwick Twp., PA - At 3:21 P.M. on January 25th, the Twin Valley Fire Department and multiple mutual aid companies were dispatched to Hawthorne Lane in Warwick Township for a dwelling fire. While responding to the scene a column of smoke was spotted and Engine 69-1 requested the firstalarm tanker task force. Engine 69- 1 arrived to find fire showing from the front of a two-story home. Crews stretched the front bumper lines towards the house for a primary attack.

Engine 62-5 arrived seconds later to supply Engine 69-1. Crews from 69 and 62 made the initial attack on the fire, with one crew taking a line through the rear door and

another crew taking a line to the second floor. Firefighters worked on both primary searches and fire attack upon entering the house.

With the arrival of more crews additional hand lines were stretched and firefighters were able to quickly knock down a bulk of the fire on the first and second floors. One line was brought to the basement where crews found hot spots.

Ground ladders were thrown to multiple sides of the house and firefighters went to the roof with tools to perform vertical ventilation. With fire already in the attic, it was not long until flames began blowing through the roof. Crews worked diligently to stop the progress of the fire. Extensive overhaul operations began on both floors and in the attic. The fire was placed under control just before 5:00 P.M. After overhaul was completed mutual aid companies began clearing the scene. TVFD remained on scene to assist the Fire Marshal. Overall, nearly 1,000-feet of hand lines were in service off of Engine 69-1 and over 3,000-gallons of water was used to extinguish the fire. Several gallons of foam were also used to help with overhaul operations. Crews cleared the scene at 6:53 P.M.
