The Christmas holiday has begun with very little sleep for QFD Volunteers.
At 10:50 pm Wednesday night, Quarryville Borough PD called out a “pile of stuff” on fire at 33 East 4th Street in Quarryville Borough. Units arrived to a trash fire and extinguished the same.
At 11:49 pm, Truck 57, Engine 574 and 572 responded to a dwelling fire in the 100 block of Strubel Road in Strasburg Township assisting Strasburg Fire Company. Chief 5 arrived with a 2.5 story dwelling with fire showing from the 2nd floor and attic. QFD units worked with multiple mutual aid crews to extinguish the fire, which went to 2 alarms. Thanks to Gap FC Engine 42-1 for standing by while our units were committed.
At 3:21 am Thursday, as crews were finishing cleaning up from the fire, the pre-alert went out for a house fire in the 100 block of South Summit Avenue in Quarryville Borough. Units responded immediately and arrived with smoke in the basement of a duplex from a furnace malfunction. The house was ventilated and the Company was available at 4:05.
