Friday night, November 7th. Co 13, 14 (Camp Hill) and Squad 8 from the City were dispatched to a auto accident involving an overturned vehicle on I-83 South just past the Lemoyne Exit (Exit 42). Squad 13 arrived first on the scene followed by Harrisburg City Squad 8 then Engine 3. There was one vehicle involved, a minivan, that rolled over and back on to it’s wheels. Units on the scene assisted EMS with packaging a patient. The WSBF thanks Squad 8 and the CHFD for their assistance.

Today at 1520 hrs. the Engine Company was requested to transfer to Co. 33’s Quarters (New Kingstown).  Engine 3 took the transfer on her first day back in action with the Engine Co.  The transfer crew covered for 3 hours while assisting with getting Co 33’s Engine back in service after the incident. 

This morning the Engine and Squad were dispatched to a train fire in the area of the Lowther St.  Chief 201 (Hazardous Materials Team Chief who’s also a member of the WSBF) was first on scene advising best access was from I-83 at Exit 42. The Squad arrived next followed by Engine 2.  Crews threw ladders to get over the fencing and another ladder to access the train.  It is believed a fuel leak ignited the fire in the engine compartment.  By the time the WSBF arrived on the scene the train Engineer had used dry-chemical powder on the fire and had things under control.  The WSBF checked for extension to confirm the fire was out and then turned things over to Norfolk Southern. 

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Fire Company Saturday morning at our Breakfast Buffet.  There were a total of 115 served.  We appreciate the turnout and hope to see you again at our next event!

Following the Breakfast Buffet Saturday, 6 members from Station 2 staffed an Engine and went door to door promoting smoke detector safety, emphasizing changing the batteries and also handed out detectors to those homes that needed them through 7 blocks of Second Street.  While this crew was working hard in Wormleysburg, 2 members from Station 1 went door to door in Lemoyne in an area of Bosler Ave.  Thanks to those of you who came out to help.

 If we didn’t get to your home in Wormleysburg or Lemoyne and you would like us to come out and check your detectors or you are in need of detectors please call us.  We’ll gladly stop by one evening or on the weekend to help you.
