| Around 2330 hours (11:30 pm) Engine 5-5 was dispatched along with 6 other tankers as part of a "Tanker Task Force" to assist Delaware County Station 59 (Concordville) on a building fire. With a crew of 6 still on station from training earlier in the evening, Engine 5-5 quickly made the response.
Once on scene, the crew split, sending some members to assist on the fire scene, and others to stay back with the engine to assist the driver with filling and shuttle operations. Crews at the fire scene assisted with suppression and overhaul operations.
Engine 5-5 transported and dumped a total of 5 loads, which is almost 13,000 gallons of water, during the course of night.
Engine 5-5 returned to service around 0300 hours (3am) |
