On June 1st, 2024, Keystone Valley Fire Department EMS was dispatched to assist the Cochranville Fire Company and mutual aid in the 700 block of Street Road in Londonderry Township for a building fire.

Ambulance 8-2 and mutual aid went responding and were advised by the Chester County 911 Center that the caller reported fire and smoke coming from a building. The property owner called the 911 center and advised that the building would be a barn on their property and that the building was heavily engulfed in fire.

Ambulance 22-2 and Captain 15-A arrived to confirm the report and also reported there were explosions inside of the barn. Chief 22 (Felker) requested a tanker task force to the scene for water due to the area not having fire hydrants. 3 additional Engine Companies were requested to the scene as well for manpower. Tanker 8 was dispatched to the scene at this time as part of the tanker task force. Chief 22 (Felker) arrived and assumed command of this incident.
