On Thursday, November 3rd, 2011 Wagontown Fire Company, Ambulance 144, Martin's Corner Fire Company, Coatesville VA Hospital Fire Department, and the East Brandywine Fire Company were dispatched at 1301 to the 100 block of Sugarmans Road in West Caln for reports of a house on fire. Calls to 911 indicated flames and smoke were showing from an attached garage of a single family dwelling. The Company responded soon after dispatch due to the reports, the Chester County 911 Center upgraded the call to a "Working Fire Dispatch" which brought additional resources from the Sadsburyville Fire Company, Tankers from the Westwood Fire Company and Honey Brook Fire Company, an Air unit from the City of Coateville Fire Department, and Medic 93.

Wagontown Chief Ziegler also requested that three additional Tankers be dispatched to the scene due to a lack of hydrants in the area. Tankers from the White Horse Fire Company in Lancaster County, Glen Moore Fire Company, and Twin Valley Fire Department were summoned to the scene. The crew from Ambulance 144 arrived simultaneously with Wagontown Deputy Chief Patton at 1306 and confirmed the reports with heavy fire conditions noted upon arrival. A vehicle was noted in the driveway and reports were unclear whether or not anyone was trapped inside the home. For this reason, crews prepared to conduct a search for possible trapped occupants.

Engine 35 was instructed to proceed into the driveway and drop a water supply hose down at the street for incoming Tankers to supply water. Due to the seriousness of the incident and potential for entrapment, the crew of Ambulance 144 along with Wagontown firefighters aboard Engine 35 quickly deployed multiple hose lines and began to enter the structure to initiate a search and fire attack. Chief 35 (Ziegler) arrived shortly after and exchanged command with Deputy Chief Patton who then set up the Water Supply Officer position to ensure an adequate water supply for the attack operation. Westwood Chief McWilliams and Battalion Chief Sly arrived on the scene with Wagontown Engine 35 and were able to place their EMS command vehicle in a position which allowed for a Command Post to be easily established and utilized on the fire scene. Chief Edwards of the East Brandywine Fire Company arrived and assumed the role of the Operations Officer positioned at the front door of the home, supervising crews inside. Assistant Chief Scott arrived shortly thereafter and immediately ascended the roof to ventilate super-heated gases from the home in an effort to stop the fire from spreading. Firefighters from Wagontown, Westwood, Martin's Corner, Honey Brook, Sadsburyville, Glen Moore, Twin Valley, Coatesville Fire Department, Coatesville Veterans Affairs Fire Department, and White Horse Fire Company of Lancaster County all worked throughout the afternoon to contain the blaze and prevent further damage to the structure or its contents.

The fire was officially placed under control at 1415.

Two firefighters were transported to Brandywine Hospital for evaluation and treatment for minor injuries sustained fighting the fire.

Crews remained on the scene putting out "hot spots" and sifting through debris for several hours.

Good job to all firefighters and crews for an aggressive interior search and fire attack to contain the bulk of the fire damage to the area that was found upon arrival.
