A structure fire with possible entrapment was reported at approximately 0655 hours this morning, prompting a multi-unit response from Newell (Station 7), New Manchester (Station 5), Lawrenceville (Station 4), New Cumberland (Station 9), and Chester (Station 6). An update en route confirmed all occupants had exited the structure. Crews from E74, T75, E72, E50, and E96 arrived on scene to find a fully involved structure, deploying multiple 1 3/4 inch and one 2 1/2 inch hose lines for defensive operations. T45 and R65 provided personnel and air supply. The response effort lasted for nearly five hours before units returned to service.
