December 24th shortly after 4am Co’s 10, 12, 13, 14, and York County 68 were dispatched to a Structure fire on the 200 block of Bridge St.  Unit response was slow due to iced up personal vehicles at home and icy road conditions.  Chief 10 was first on the scene with fire showing from the second floor of the rear of the building.  Chief 10 requested 2nd alarm minutes after arriving on the scene.  Engine 2-10 and Truck 10 arrived a few minutes after Chief 10.  Squad 13 arrived moments after them and laid a line from 3rd and Bridge to the front of the structure.  The Squad had 2 handlines in service and supplied Truck 12.  Engine 2-10 picked up the hydrant at Bridge St. and Second St. and laid a second supply line into the scene.  Truck 10 accessed the rear of the structure from Locust Alley.  Engine 2-13 arrived and laid a supply line in the Alley to Truck 10 and also had 1 handline in service.  Truck 12 set up at the front of the building next to the Squad.  Minutes after requesting the 2nd alarm, the 3rd alarm was requested by command 10.  Units arriving from these alarms were staged and put to work to help control and overhaul the fire.

The Fire Marshal was requested to the scene. The American Red Cross assisted the victims of the fire.
