The Robert Fulton Fire Company responded to a working vehicle fire at 7:25 a.m. on November 14, 2025, in the 1400 block of Lancaster Pike. The incident involved a 20-foot deckover trailer loaded with corn fodder bales that was actively burning upon arrival.

The call was initially reported closer to the Buck area, but after Station 58 began responding, the location was confirmed to be within Robert Fulton Fire Company’s first-due area. Deputy 89 arrived on scene to find heavy fire involving the trailer and its load. Engine 58-1 arrived shortly thereafter and deployed two handlines to attack the fire.

Squad 89 arrived moments later and placed both high-pressure lines in service, allowing crews to quickly knock down the bulk of the fire. Extensive overhaul operations followed to ensure all hot spots were extinguished. Tanker 57 from Quarryville Fire Company assisted by supplying additional water to support suppression efforts.

Cleanup operations were aided by Scott Stauffer and Cedar Hill Excavating, who helped remove debris from the parking lot. After returning to the station, responding members were treated to breakfast burritos prepared by the fire company auxiliary.

All Robert Fulton Fire Company units were clear of the scene by 9:44 a.m. A total of 18 volunteers signed in for the incident.
