At 1316, a call came into the STAFFED firehouse. The resident from the 200 Block of Hellam Street in Wrightsville was concerned about an odor inside the apartment building.

Chief 40 and the Wagon went to investigate. Once inside, crews found an odor of something burning on the 2nd Floor. The Engine laid 200' of 5" from 2nd/Hellam. Rescue 41-1 held at the hydrant. Chief 41 requested that York fill the structure assignment.

Crews searched all 3 floors and found the issue to be a stove in a 2nd floor apartment. Crews forced entry into the apartment. The landlord was advised of the issue, and companies cleared the scene in less than an hour.
