2/9/07 - East Pennsboro Township - Shady Lane

Shortly before 0300 hours East Pennsboro companies and Hampden Truck 30 dispatched to 414 Shady Lane for a kitchen fire. Chief 18 arrived and reported fire showing from sides B and C. Despite efforts of first arriving crews, the fire was being fanned by a cold wind, and quickly spread throughout the upper floors of a large, 2.5 story, wood frame dwelling. Command 5 called for a 2nd and 3rd alarm bringing units from across the West Shore and surrounding communities. Firefighters needed about an hour to extinguish the flames and remained on the scene for several hours. Around 0900 hours units a modified box was sent back for a rekindle.
