Star Hose Company #1

***WORKING FIRE***

A little after 6:30 this morning Rescue 3 was dispatched on Box 48-76 for the working commercial building fire on Main St. in Coudersport. Initial reports indicated a working fire with people possibly trapped.

First arriving units found a three-story occupied hotel with heavy smoke showing and immediately requested the second alarm. This brought Engine 3 also to the scene.

Originally designated for the RIT assignment, the Rescue Company arrived on the scene and was put to work conducting searches on the second and third floors.

Several occupants were rescued via ground ladders and the fire escape by first due companies. Units remained on the scene for several hours.

Editor’s note: Star Hose Co. did not assist in occupants escape. We misread Star Hone Company’s post.
