Wednesday evening around 8pm the WSBF responded to a porch fire in the 100 block of Market Street in New Cumberland.  Units arrived to find a balcony on fire on the back of a 2 story apartment building.  Crews quickly extinguished the fire and checked for extension in to the apartments.  Crews cleared the scene in just under an hour.

Today around 330am the WSBF was dispatched for an auto accident with entrapment involving a car into the woods on the Taylor Bridge Bypass. While responding units were advised the caller was involved in the accident and they were uncertain of their exact location. It took 8 minutes to locate the vehicle down a steep embankment in the woods at the Erford Road Exit in East Pennsboro Township.  Crews extricated both patients from the vehicle in under 20 minutes.  Both were flown by aero-medical to a local trauma center. Crews remained on scene for several hours to assist the police department with their investigation.
