Toned out at 01:41 on Tuesday morning. Structure fire called in by homeowner advising heavy smoke in structure. Turns out the live-in grandma put something on the stove and fell asleep watching tv. More smoke than fire and damn little smoke. Toss the offending stovetop occupant into the back yard, TIC it for hot spots and run the PV fans for 30 minutes. Then roll the hoses and go home...
Had a pretty good MVA this afternoon with entrapment, but I was on the other end of the county and didn't roll on it.
Other than that, it's quiet...too quiet.

June 30th, Working High risk fire at a chip factory. Multi alarms, Heavy smoke from a mile out. Fire on all three floors due to conveyer system. Total due on the box, 2 trucks, 7 engines, 2 rescues, 1 air truck, 2 RITs, 2 bls
Flaming chips traveling on a conveyer belt at Bickel's Snack Foods in West Manchester Township caused significant damage to the plant Tuesday.
The fire, in the 1000 block of West College Avenue, started before 2 p.m. in a fryer, said Chief David Nichols of the West Manchester Township Fire Department.
After the fryer was ablaze, burning snack food transferred onto the factory's conveyer belt, which is normally used to move foods up the assembly line, Nichols said. The burning product trucked along the conveyer system, moving through all three stories of the building and catching each floor on fire, he said.
Several employees attempted unsuccessfully to put out the fire, Nichols said. Two or three were treated for minor smoke inhalation, he said. There were about 30 people working there at the time, he said.
"Fortunately, all the employees were able to escape on their own," Nichols said.
The fire was ruled accidental.
It started around the fryer when an "accumulation" of food residue - described as chips, crumbs and grains - came in contact with the hot oil, Nichols said. The building caught on fire quickly because it is an older structure with a wooden frame, he said.
Efforts to reach a Bickel's representative for comment were unsuccessful. Several employees at the scene declined to comment on the fire, but two who did not give their names said they were making corn chips Tuesday.
The cost of the damage is going to be significant, Nichols
said. Besides fire and smoke damage to the building and equipment, there will likely be lost products and supplies, he said.
"It's not going to be like $500," Nichols said.
The state Department of Agriculture will come out to inspect the plant soon and will have to determine what needs to be thrown away, Nichols said. The plant cannot reopen until the department determines it is safe, he said.
Crews from nine local fire departments responded to the blaze, which was under control in about 30 minutes.
