7-5-09 - Fire Showing In Downtown Wrightsville

As members were enjoying crabs at the firehouse, neighbors rushed into the firehouse yelling that something was burning on Hellam Street.
Heavy smoke was visible from the 41 House.
At 20:58 York County 911 dispatched the first alarm assignment and sent Engine 41 into action with a crew of 7 in one minute.
Engine 41 grabbed a hydrant infront of Station 41 and layed into the scene finding a working fire on the 2nd Division with fire blowing out the front and rear windows. Crews from the Engine began advancing two lines into the fire building. The original Engine crew vented, searched and knocked 90% of the fire down within 10 minutes.
Rescue 41-1 went enroute with an additional 10 personnel and laid another section of supply line from 3rd and Hellam into the scene.
The rescue crew took the exposure building to check for extension.
All that was found was a light smoke condition and high temperatures.
All mutual aid departments assisted in extensive overhaul of the structure.
Operations were wrapped up in just over 3 hours of dispatch.
