Catasauqua- On the evening of February 25 at around 20:22, the Lehigh County 911 Center dispatched stations 2 and 18 along with the Northampton Regional ambulance to a dwelling fire located at the rear of 124 Bridge St. Chief 2 responded to the scene and found a working fire in an exterior one story garage to the rear of 117 Pine St. At the front of this location (115-117 Pine St) was a two story building with businesses in the first floor and occupied apartments on the second floor. An early report suggested that people might be trapped. With an external working garage fire threatening internal exposures in the rear, C-2 requested a second alarm assignment along with an additional truck and a rescue. Companies forced entry into the large remaining part of the rear one story building and found little extension. The bulk of the fire had been in the exterior garage and was extinguished with hand lines. Searches proved negative.
