November 6 — Hand-in-Hand Fire Company
On the evening of November 6, Station 41 was dispatched to assist Station 5 at a second-alarm barn fire in the 600 block of May Post Office Road in Strasburg Township, prompting a full response from the company. Engine 41 established a secondary fill site at Little Beaver Road and May Post Office Road, supplying eight tankers throughout the incident. Tanker 41 delivered three loads of water—totaling 12,000 gallons—and its crew supported suppression efforts by operating a handline on the fireground. Utility 41-1 aided Engine 41 in setting up the fill site before reporting to manpower staging, while Utility 41-2 and Fire Police 41 managed traffic control to maintain scene safety. During operations, Fire Police 41 was additionally dispatched to handle a separate wires call within Station 5’s first-due area.
