Minutes before 1100hrs, Laurys Station Company 12 was dispatched to 5125 Church Drive for a house fire. One caller reported fire from garage and heavy smoke pouring from windows. With that report, the second alarm was struck. Laury's Engine 12 arrived and reported a working fire.

First-in engine crew stretched a hand-line to the garage and darkened down the fire, while Lehigh Twp. Engine 47 brought in a water supply. Ladder Co. 16 went to the roof to open up, but by then the flames were venting from the roof. Command struck a third alarm. One firefighter was taken by ambulance to an area hospital, possibly heat related. The fire was under control in about an hour.
