2nd Street in the City of Chester to assist with a building fire. Initially, Tower 3 was assigned to the staging area at the Philadelphia Union Soccer Stadium. Battalion Chief Decker then reassigned Tower 3 to the B side of the building, where Glenolden Tower 5 and Aston Township Truck 17 were operating.
Upon aerial deployment and establishment of the supply line, Battalion Chief Decker provided Lieutenants Totaro and Plourde with a 360-degree tour of the operation. Upon returning to the Bravo side, crews utilized a blitz fire to assist with exterior fire attack. Additionally, crews employed a chop saw from Tower 3 to remove a railing, facilitating blitz fire access to the structure. Crews were released by command at 1400 hours and made themselves available to Chester County at 1437 hours.
Meanwhile, the MICU crew responded to an accident and medical call, while Squad 3 handled a fire alarm while Tower 3 was operating.
