Around 8:50 am, the Valley Forge Volunteer Fire Company requested the assistance of the Paoli Fire Company for a structure fire located on Dorchester Way in Schuykill Township. Squad 3, Engine 3-5, and Utility 3 responded to assist the Valley Forge Fire Volunteer Company. Crews from the Paoli Fire Company assisted the Valley Forge Fire Company for over 2 hours during that incident.

While our crews were operating on the Schuykill Township incident, a second house fire was dispatched in Paoli Fire Company's first due area for the 2000 block of Waterloo Road. Easttown Township Police arrived on the scene and reported smoke visible from the roof. The Berwyn Fire Company arrived first on the scene and initiated an interior attack on the residence. Due to the heat, additional resources were requested from mutual aid departments. Units were operating on this incident for approximately 3 hours.

The Paoli Fire Company would like to thank our mutual aid agencies for their assistance on this fire.
