The HBFC rang in the new year with a bang, running five calls for service including a working house fire in West Caln Township. As winter weather swept across the region early Thursday morning, Station 33 was alerted at 06:44 hours to assist Station 35 (Wagontown) for an MVA at the intersection of Telegraph and Birdell in West Caln Township. Chief 33, Rescue 33 and Utility 33 responded along with 35 units and were advised that the operator of the vehicle was confined, and the incident was upgraded. Chief 33 and Assistant 35 arrived a short time later and confirmed no entrapment, the operator had self extricated. Crews controlled hazards and traffic until being released by command.

At 07:12 hours Rescue 33 responded from the MVA to the 1000 Block of Chestnut Tree Road in Honey Brook Township for an injured person following an auto accident. While enroute, Fireboard called Rescue 33 and advised of a House Fire on the 300 block of North Sandy Hill Road in West Caln Township. With EMS units on scene, Rescue 33 cleared the injured persons call and took in the box alarm. Initial reports indicated flames from the roof of the residence with at least one person with smoke inhalation. Chief 35 arrived and confirmed smoke showing from the second division of a 2.5 story dwelling and established command. Squad 35 arrived as the first due engine, stretching one cross-lay to the second division via the Charlie side porch, and initiated fire attack. Rescue 33 arrived simultaneously and assumed the first due special, splitting crews and going to work along with Chief 33, conducting primary searches as well as opening up on divisions one and two. Engine 33-5 arrived and assisted with overhaul operations. With units already on the street from previous incidents, crews made quick work of the fire, holding it to its areas of origin, allowing command to scale the assigment back to Honey Brook and Wagontown units. Chief 35 placed the fire under control at 07:33 hours.
