At 15:16 Hrs the date The 15 House along with second alarm units were dispatched to the 100 block of South Front St. in the borough for a working building fire. Chief 501 (Messinger) was a block away when the fire was dispatched and quickly gave an on scene report and took command until a company 15 Chief arrived. Engine 15-2 and Truck 15-1 responded minutes later with full crews and quickly went to work once arriving. The Engine laid in from the south and the Truck came in from the north end of the street. The crew from the Engine pulled the 2" smooth bore line and proceeded to the 3rd floor of the fire building with the crew from the Truck following, ready to force doors and perform a primary search. Rescue 2-1 (Lewisburg) arrived and assisted with a second line off The Wagon to the 2nd floor, while Engine 5-2 (White Deer Twp) assisted the remaining truck crew with throwing ladders. Chief 1503 (Stump) arrived and assumed command 15. With crews inside encountering high heat conditions and no visible fire a 3rd alarm was struck. Conditions began to deteriorate rapidly so crews evacuated and went into defensive operations. The 15 House remained on the scene for about 7 hours. Units from Union, Snyder, Montour, Lycoming, and Northumberland assisted at the scene. Many of these units operated at the warehouse fire 4 days earlier.
