Members from the Cochranville Fire Company assisted with Christiana Fire Company - Lancaster County, Pennsylvania 2026 Kids Fire Experience.

Utility 27 and UTV 27 were on display for those in attendance

There were over 150 campers registered this year who learned a variety of Fire, EMS, and Police skills. Skills such as how to spot a stroke, how to spot a stovetop fire, bike and park safety, how to operate a fire extinguisher, how to perform CPR, Car Cutting and Extrication, and many other skills.

Campers also got to experience a medical helicopter landing, how firefighters respond to a structure fire and talked with PennMed 1 physician who responds to emergency situations.

Congratulations to Station 52 on another excellent event. We were happy to assist.

‼️Public Notice: Smoke in the Area‼️

As a result of last night's barn fire on Thompson Road there will be smoke in the area for an extended period of time.

The smoke is a result of the burning hay. Unfortunately the most effective and environmentally friendly way to manage a hay fire is to have it burn in a controlled manner. The fire is being monitored.

If you have any questions or concerns please reach out and ask.

🔥West Fallowfield Township Structure Fire🔥

On Sunday June 21st at 9pm the Cochranville Fire Company and multiple mutual aide companies were dispatched to a barn fire on the 100 block of Thompson Road.

Deputy 27 responded and due to the additional information and the visible smoke column the working fire dispatch and tanker task force were requested.

Deputy 27 arrived to find a 50 x 100 barn with heavy fire throughout and multiple exposures. Deputy 27 established Thompson Rd Command which was passed to chief 27 upon his arrival.

Engine 27-2 arrived on scene and deployed 2 handlines. A 200' 1.75" line was deployed to protect the exposures and a 250' 2.5" line was deployed to attack the bulk of the fire.

Once crews had the bulk of the fire suppressed, heavy machinery was brought in to the scene to remove the hay and building materials.

As of 2:30 on the morning of Monday June 22nd crews were still working with the machinery to bring the incident under control.

There will be a strong odor of smoke for a few days in the area.

Update:

Thompson Rd Command was terminated at 5:20 am on Monday morning. All fire department resources are clear of the scene.

Thank you to all of our mutual aide companies and private businesses who assisted with this incident.
