At 0532 hrs (5:32 am), the Lionville Fire Company (St. 47) along with the West Whiteland Fire Company (St. 6) were alerted to the 600 block of Brecknock Drive for a reported house fire. While firefighters made an aggressive interior fire attack, due to the rapid spread and extent of the fire, command ordered exterior operations at 06:01 (6 am) as to not unnecessarily endanger firefighter lives. Shortly thereafter the fire was placed under control with all hands working. The fire is currently under investigation by Chester County and State Police fire marshals. There were no reported civilian or firefighter injuries. All units were available by 06:56 hrs (6:56 am). Photos by Mike Schon |
