Engine 33-5 responds to West Caln HazMat Incident
By Firefighter/EMT Christopher Eno
April 26, 2016
In the afternoon hours of Tuesday, April 26, the Wagontown Fire Company (Station 35) was dispatched to the scene of an overturned propane truck at the intersection of Cedar Knoll and Kaolin Roads in West Caln Township, at the entrance of the Hibernia County Park.
Due to the propane truck having a small leak in the rear of the truck, Engine 33-5 was dispatched to the scene to assist as a source of a water supply in case the water was needed for vapor and/or fire suppression.
On arrival, Engine 33-5 was instructed to hook into Engine 35 and standby as crews worked to secure the leak and upright the truck.
Thankfully, no major issues occured as Fling's Towing safely uprighted the truck.
After the truck was uprighted, Engine 33-5 was released from the incident by Command 35.
