Shortly after
02:00
Perry Hiway crews were called to the 8100 block
of
Peach Street for a report of
a structure fire. On arrival crews found a
heavily involved single story residential
building. Crews made an initial attack but were
forced to evacuate due to the rapid fire spread
and limited accessibility. Several rooms of
the structure were being used for storage and
advancement was hindered. Tower Ladder 449 from
Kearsarge Fire Department was set up and used to
knock down the fire. Crews were then able to
resume interior operations and complete
overhaul. No one was home at the time of the
fire. The residence is currently for sale, and
is one of several suspicious fires in the area
over the last year. The Pennsylvania State
Police Fire Marshal is investigating the fire.
3
Minor injuries were reported and all were
transported for evaluation at various
hospitals. All were treated and released.
Perry Hiway was assisted by Kearsarge Fire
Department, McKean Hose Co, Waterford Fire
Department, Kuhl Hose Co, and Emergycare.
