At 1500 Hours, while Engine 21-1 was handling a separate incident in Lower Oxford, the company was alerted for a Engine and Tanker to respond to Reath Road, to assist the Robert Fulton Fire Company (Station 89) on a reported building fire in Little Britain Township, Lancaster County.

Engine 21-1 (FF Kern) immediately responded with 5 personnel.
Tanker 21 (Past Chief S. Terry) and Engine 21-4 (Lieutenant Testa) responded shortly after.

Engine 21-1 arrived on-site as the First Due Engine and laid out a 5" supply line from the end of the driveway.
Tanker 21 arrived and joined in the "Tanker shuttle", hauling 3 loads of water from a nearby creek to the incident scene.

Engine 21-1 crew stretched a 200' 1.75" attack line and began fire suppression activities. The crew was met with a large volume of fire on the interior.

Due to advanced fire conditions throughout the roofline making interior fire attack unsafe, Command 89 ordered all crews to evacuate the structure.

All crews worked on-site for over 3 hours, utilizing multiple handlines and performing extensive overhaul of the structure.

Thank you to the Pequea Valley Fire Department Tanker 405, and Cochranville Fire Company Tanker 27, for covering our district while we operated at this incident. Tanker 405 handled a auto accident on the Route 1 Bypass while at Station 21.

Units: Engine 21-1, Engine 21-4, Tanker 21, Utility 21-1.
 
Mutual Aid: Robert Fulton (89) , Quarryville (57), Rising Sun (8), West Grove (22), Water Witch (7), Rawlinsville (58), Christiana (52), Bart Township (51), and Wakefield EMS (88)
