Firefighters Quickly Snuff Apartment House Fire In Port Allegany
Star Hose Company #1
Just before 6:00 pm, Box 3-2 was struck for the fire in an apartment on West Mill Street in Port Allegany Borough. Chief 320 arrived on scene with a working fire in the rear of a four unit building. Engine 3 stretched a line to the 2nd floor fire while Squad 3 handled the first due special service responsibilities, placing ground ladders, securing the utilities, and performing a primary search. A second alarm was sounded due to possible fire spreading into the common attic, but quick work by first due companies held the fire to the area of origin with one line and the incident was held to the 1st alarm units for overhaul.
