8-15-06 - Another Busy Day Brings 4

The day started off with the borough office advising of a complaint of an odor of natural gas in the area of the Locust Street Museum at 14:29. Rescue Company 1 was enroute immediately with 5. When they arrived, the MSA gas detector was put in service in the area of an antique natural gas burning street lamp. A reading of 100 LEL was found. The gas to the lamp was shut off to the lamp and the 41-01 box was available 29 minutes after dispatch. The next run came in at 18:04 with the Engine Company assisting the 42 brothers with a woods fire. Engine 1 arrived on scene and manpower was sent via boat 81 to the scene. The wagon crew assisted with overhaul operations and the Engine was available at 20:42. Soon after arriving back to the station, the QRS Service was put to work with a Class I Medical Assist in the borough. While the QRS was on scene the 41 house was once again racked to assist Station 21 and the police department with a search detail. Rescue 2, Engine 1, and Car 1 were enroute in less than a minute and placed available seconds later.
