The morning started around 11:30 when the Engine was requested to relocate to Coatesville's Station 41 while they were on a house fire with an explosion at Primrose and Walnut Streets in Coatesville City.

The Engine responded and while they were there they assisted the Sadsburyville Fire Company on a building fire on Gunard Carlson Blvd in Sadsbury Twp. At this incident the companies arrived to find a fork lift fire inside a warehouse at the facility they responded to.

The units from Station 31 quickly had the situation under control and the engine was released to relocate back to Coatesville.

Then around 15:45 hours as the crews were clearing the relocate a house fire assignment was dispatched for the 1500 block of Birdell Rd in West Caln Township. The Chief, Engine and Rescue marked up shortly after dispatch and were advised that they had a garage fire.
