Yesterday around 2pm, UAFD and mutual aid companies were dispatched for a tractor trailer fire on the Turnpike which temporarily shut down the roadway. Chief 223, Squad, Tanker, and Engine 23, and units from 33 (New Kingstown) responded. The fire spread to the grassy area behind America’s Auto Auction. Companies 29 (Mechanicsburg), 25 (Monroe), 24 (Lisburn) and Traffic 23 were then dispatched to that location.
While still operating at the Turnpike call, around 6pm a box alarm for smoke in the building was dispatched at Messiah Village. Chief 123, Engine, Truck, Traffic, and Squad 23 (coming from the TT fire) along with mutual aid units arrived to find plastic Tupperware that had been left on an electric stove on the 2nd floor. Units vented the floor and then Squad 23 and 29 units returned back to the TT fire to finish cleaning up.
As always, UAFD and its Officers would like to thank our mutual aid partners in Mechanicsburg, Monroe, Lisburn, Lower Allen, New Kingstown, and Penn State EMS for assisting us!
