New Hanover volunteers kept busy yesterday responding to 3 working fires. Station 37 volunteers started the day at 1:41am to assist Upper Salford Volunteer Fire Company on a working barn fire. At 12:39pm, the non commercial building fire box was dispatched for a dwelling fire on the 2700 block of Stacie Dr in New Hanover. After multiple reports of fire from the roof the working fire dispatch procedure was sent. The dwelling fire eventually went to a 2nd alarm response for manpower. As crews were getting our apparatus and equipment back in service, we were dispatched to a reported shed fire on the 500 block of Buchert Rd. at 5:34pm. Squad 37 arrived advising of a fully involved detached garage fire. We would like to thank all our mutual aid companies that assisted us on our 2 working fires. Your quick responses and actions helped us save properties from sustaining more damage. Thanks again to Gilbertsville Area Community Ambulance Service Gilbertsville Fire & Rescue Co.
