Lancaster Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 319

While at USAR Task Force training, members of LCBF USAR were dispatched as part of Lancaster County Rescue Task Force #36 to Lebanon County to assist with a tractor trailer into a garage. Units have been operating for multiple hours.

Just after 3am , City Fire units were dispatched to the 100 block of N Reservoir St for a reported house fire. Battalion Chief 1 arrived to find fire showing from a 2.5 Story EOR. Fire was then found in the exposure as well. BC1 requested the Working Fire Dispatch, bringing in mutual aid companies.
