At 8:47 AM, Monday, April 14, 2014, KVFD was dispatched to a trash fire at the Everlasting Fence Company, 5399 W. Lincoln Highway, West Sadsbury Township.

Deputy Chief Gathercole upon arrival with Brush 8 reported that the fire had extended to a field. He requested a Tanker assist from the Christiana Fire Company to assist with water supply.

Engine 8-1 responded and arrived on-scene. Engine 8-1 went into service with 1 3/4 hand line and placed foam on the trash that was burning. It appeared as the company was burning trash and the fire extended into its left over fencing material. Crews pulled apart the trash and soaked the area.

Christiana (Lanco) responded with a crew of six on Tanker 52-1. The fire was brought under control and all units cleared at 9:37 AM.

The company was reminded of open burning regulations and the proper procedures that need to be followed.
