At 06:20 this morning, Company 38, Engine 35, RIT 56 and MICU 108 were dispatched to 25 W. Eagle road for a building fire. The police arrived on location and advised of a 3 story mixed used building with smoke coming from the rear. Chief 38 arrived shortly thereafter and confirmed a working basement fire in a balloon frame structure. One occupant and a dog were removed from the structure and transported to an area medical center (and a vet) for treatment. A second alarm was transmitted bringing the balance of 35, 56 and companies 34 and 58. A special call was made for Company 53 (Broomall) and Montco Ladder 21 (Penn Wynne). The fire was placed under control at the 30 minute mark and units remained on scene performing overhaul until just past 8am. Thank you to Collingdale Squad 33 for covering our response area while we were operating at the scene.
