Squad 1 assists at fatal structural collapse

 July 31, 2019

In the early morning hours,  Squad 1 was requested to assist multiple agencies with a tree down on a structure with entrapment in Penn Township, Westmoreland County.  The residence needed to be shored up and the tree secured in order to extricate the patient from the residence.  Sadly, the victim succumbed to his injuries. Squad 1 was on the scene for about two hours before returning in service.

Around 3:30 Sunday afternoon, All 5 Monroeville Fire Companies were dispatched to Big Lots for a possible commercial structure fire. Engine 12 arrived with a large roll off dumpster on fire behind the business endangering the building and a trailer. Engine 12 pulled a 1 3/4”cross lay, hit the exterior fire, and advanced inside along with Truck 5’s crew. Additional arriving units finished off the dumpster fire. The fire was quickly contained with only minor extension to the building. Great job by all responding units.
