Truck 50 responded to assist Station 54 (Lampeter) on a working barn fire. The Truck arrived and was told to set up behind Engine 54-2 for fire attack. As the Truck was setting up, the crew checked a second driveway and determined the truck would fit through, and would have a much better place to position. The Truck was moved, and set up to extinguish the fire. After most of the barn was extinguished, crews noticed smoke coming from the silo nearby. The Truck set up to check the silos for extension, and found none. The smoke was from the barn funneling up through the silo. After several hours of overhaul, the company cleared. The Rescue, Engine, Tac, Traffic, and Squad also responded to the call. Willow Street Fire Company. Taken Thanksgiving Day, 11/23/23.
Truck 50 is a 2003 Pierce Dash.
