November 12, 2025 — Full Crescent Hose Company reported that earlier this morning, firefighters were dispatched along with Fuller Hose Company #1 to a reported structure fire on Gay Road. Upon arrival, Chief 200 found a wood stove burning outside the home, with heat beginning to melt the siding and threaten the structure.
Engine 202 arrived shortly afterward and deployed a handline, making a rapid stop on the fire before it could extend into the home. Ladder 209 completed a thorough check for extension and conducted overhaul operations to ensure the area was fully secured. Firefighters cleared the scene within an hour.
Fairfield Hose Company VFD, Harborcreek Fire Department, and Kuhl Hose Fire Department were also dispatched but were cancelled prior to arrival as the situation was quickly brought under control.
Crescent Hose Company reminded residents that they are always seeking new members interested in firefighting, EMS, or fire police service. Community members are encouraged to stop by the station or reach out via Facebook to learn how to get involved.
