1/10/15 - Swatara Township, PA - Eisenhower Blvd

Around 1345 hours, Swatara Township and area fire companies sent to The Econo Lodge at 495 Eisenhower Boulevard for a heater on fire. First arriving officer from Company 49 (Swatara Township) reported smoke showing from side A. A second alarm was quickly struck for manpower to assist with evacuating the occupants. Reports of entrapment were reported on the A/B corner of the building. Crews quickly set up a ground ladder and rescued two occupants from the second floor. Multiple lines were stretched as companies operated in an offensive mode as heavy smoke billowed from the 25x100, 2 story hotel with a common loft. As conditions started to deteriorate all units were evacuated and a PAR check performed. A third alarm was struck and incoming units were ordered to stage. Members quickly re-grouped and operated hand lines, pulled ceilings, and truck companies opened the roof contributing to a good knock on the fire preventing more significant damage. The fire was placed under control in about an hour and companies remained on the scene for extensive overhaul.
