This afternoon Engine 20-1 and crew responded to local box 41-07 for a reported truck fire. Our crew arrived on scene shortly after Tanker 41 and helped them with extinguishment and overhaul of the vehicle. We remained on scene for about 30 minutes.

This afternoon Tanker 24 assisted Palisades Regional Fire Rescue on box 94-35 on the 9000 block of Easton road for a dwelling fire. Tanker 24 was a part of a tanker task force that was needed since there were no hydrants in the area. Crews were on scene for about two hours.

Over the past 24 hours, PVFC has had multiple crews helping Midway Volunteer Fire Company with a large brush fire in Solebury Township. Engine 20-1, Tanker 24, and UTV-24 were all on scene assisting for extended periods. With an entire month without rain, these dry conditions can spark a large brush fire in an instant. Please continue to follow the Bucks County burn ban until further notice.

Yesterday afternoon, we were dispatched to hazardous materials box 20-61 in the northbound lanes of Route 611 near N. Easton Rd. When we arrived on the scene, we located an overturned truck carrying 2500 gallons of liquid oxygen. Due to the high flammability of oxygen, we worked very carefully along with tow companies to get the truck back on its tires. We were assisted on scene by Point Pleasant Vol. Fire Co., Bucks County Special Operations hazmat team, Plumstead Police, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and Jim Jacobs Towing. We cleared the scene just before 1 am.
