Mt. Penn Fire Company

2 Alarms in Exeter

On September 1 at 8:20p.m. Mt. Penn was dispatched to assist Exeter (Co25) and numerous other companies as the RIT company for a reported structure fire at 1201 Pineland Rd. in Exeter.  Even before responding, the communications center was advising of multiple calls from as far as a mile away reporting a working fire.  First arriving units quickly confirmed a large barn well involved.  A second alarm with additional tankers was quickly struck which also brought E1 to the scene.  Command used all available manpower to get set up and attack the fire to prevent it from spreading to other structures on the property.  The rural area and lack of readily available water was a problem until an effective tanker shuttle was established with fill sites on Route 422 at the Diamond Credit Union and Route 562 at Owatin Creek Elementary School.  Fortunately the fire was contained to just the barn.  Heavy equipment was brought in to assist with overhaul.  Mt. Penn units were able to clear shortly after 11:30p.m. but other units were expected to remain throughout the night.  The exact cause of this fire remains under investigation.
