WEST CALN TWP., PA - On January 24^th at 5:31 P.M., Station 33 was alerted for the full-company assist on fire box 3523. Initial reports stated a two-story barn fully-involved on the 200 block of Hill Road in West Caln Township.

While responding, Deputy 33 observed flames and a column of smoke from a mile out, and requested the working fire dispatch. Upon arrival, Deputy 33 confirmed heavy fire throughout a two-story pole-barn type structure, roughly 50' x 100' in size, and passed command to Chief 35, who arrived only moments later.

Engine 33-1 with a crew of six assumed the FDE, laying 900' of LDH from the end of the drive and initiated the fire attack. The crew of E33-1 lead-off with a two-and-a-half-inch attack line and followed up with a one-and-three-quarter-inch crosslay.

E33-1 forced entry to the structure and began making progress, quickly knocking down the well-advanced fire. Engine 33-5 arrived SDE, picking up the supply line while its crew assumed additional suppression roles. Incoming units assisted with softening the structure, fire suppression, RIT, water supply, and other fireground tasks.

Chief 35 placed the fire under control at 6:35 P.M., with all hands working and extensive overhaul. Honey Brook units were on service for roughly three hours before being released by command. This fire is currently under investigation by the Fire Marshall's office.
