Today at 12:42 Hours the Company was alerted to assist Coatesville in the 300 Block of W. Lincoln Highway for a 2nd Alarm Building Fire. When Firefighters arrived, they found heavy fire showing from a three-story building in Coatesville's West End. Crews assisted with placing numerous hose lines and assisting the City of Coatesville Fire Department in the battle of this blaze.

Engine 35, Rescue 35 and Utility all made the response shortly after being dispatched. Upon arrival firefighters were sent in to contain the fire to the area of origin and extinguish it. Additional crews were sent to the roof to open up for vertical ventilation. Searches were conducted on all three floors prior to fire attack with no occupants found inside.

The Chester County Fire Marshal's office was on location determining the cause of the fire and extent of the damage. Coatesville Fire Chief Alderman was the incident commander for the duration of the call.

The fire was placed under control at 1305 with all hands working. Thank you to Irisheyez Photography for the photographs as well as Deputy Chief Scott for his photos from the Roof Ops.
