On August 9th, 2025, at 2 am Tanker 8 was requested as part of the 1st alarm tanker task force to assist the Bart Township Fire Company in the 100 block of Furnace Road for a Working Building Fire.

Intercourse Fire Company units were the first arriving units to report a "Working Shop" fire and as the first arriving Bart Township Fire Company Officer arrived, they assumed command of the incident and struck for 2nd alarm and a 1st alarm tanker task force.

Tanker 8 made the response at 2:06 and as they were responding came across an accident at the intersection of Route 372 and Route 41 which delayed their response to their response to the scene. Tanker 8 quickly determined that the accident was property damage and continued onto the fire scene advising the Chester County 911 Center of such.

A total of 14 tankers were called to the scene and supplied water to the scene from sources such as ponds and streams to help bring this fire under control.

Tanker 8 cleared the call at 5:48 am.
