Lake Harmony, PA - Units were alerted by Carbon County Communications Friday evening, December 14th, for a reported house engulfed in flames from a passerby on Moseywood Road in the Split Rock section of Lake Harmony.

Ladder 17 (Lake Harmony) arrived on scene first and navigated a tight driveway to set up on the "A" side of the structure. Initial crews pulled two pre-connected hand lines and started to hit the fire from the exterior. A three-inch supply line was stretched to Engine 12 (Penn Forest Twp.), and a second was stretched to Engine 16 (Albrightsville).

In the meantime, a porta tank was set up in front of Engine 12. The blitz fire gun was then deployed once a reliable water supply was established. One additional apartment pack handline was also placed into service. Portable lighting was set up around the exterior of the dwelling, as well as several PPV fans.

Once the fire was knocked down, a coating of foam was applied to the smouldering dwelling. One firefighter from Station 42 (Tunkhannock Twp.) was taken to Geisinger Medical Center for an evaluation; she was treated and released.

Also responding was Tobyhanna Twp. Fire Company, Lake Harmony Ambulance, Kidder PD, and fire police from Stations 17 and 12. Units were in service for four-and-a-half hours.
