9/10/11 - Mechanicsburg Borough - N. Market Street

At 0033 hours Mechanicsburg Stations 28,27, and Naval Support Activity Station 37 were dispatched on Box 28-01 to 119 N. Market Street for a porch fire. Engine 1-28 went on location with smoke showing and laid a line from Market and Allen Streets. Several lines were stretched on heavy fire from the rear of an unoccupied, 2.5 story, duplex impinging on a similar type, unattached, dwelling. Command 28 requested the second alarm to be dispatched. The bulk of fire was knocked down in about 10 minutes with fire running the walls in the fire building. A line was stretched in the exposure at 121 N. Market to prevent further extension. Interior crews were able to open up and douse the fire which is being considered suspicious and displaced two occupants.
