Liberty Hose Co. No. 2 - Incident Detail #33

Companies 22 and 23 were dispatched to the Don's Food Rite Store for a propane fire. Located in the alley adjacent to the main entrance to the store was a food trailer that sold french fries and other foods. These foods were prepared using propane fed stoves and deep fryers. A leak developed in the trailer and started a fire in the rear area near the roof. Engine-22, Engine-23, and Squad-23 responded. Upon arrival, there was fire found to the rear of the trailer. Dual 3-inch supply lines were laid for Engine-22 from the hydrant at Market and Arch Streets, approximately 1200 feet. Engine-23 was supplied from a hydrant at Main and Spruce streets. Crews advanced lines to the trailer and extinguished the fire, with no extension to the store located only five feet away. After overhaul was completed, the crews went available.
