Lehigh County 9-1-1 dispatched companies 33 (Han-Le-Co) & 41 (LVIA Airport) to 2756 Suzanne Way for a house fire at 1909 hours. Simultaneously, Northampton County was receiving multiple calls for the same house and they sent company 15. Chief 33 (Yoder) lives in the neighborhood and was on scene immediately reporting a two-story M/O/R with heavy fire in the rear. With the fire extending rapidly, Yoder struck the second-alarm.
The airport crash truch arrives first and hits the bulk of the fire with the deck gun. However, the fire extended to the 6 or 7 other homes in the row before additional companies arrived. Ladder 2 (Catasauqua) and Ladder 15 (Han-Nor-Co) went to the roof to open up multiple vent holes.
Multiple hand lines were in-service as crews battled the blaze from inside and outside the home, opening up walls and ceilings to gain access to the fire. In all 6 homes were heavily damaged by the fast moving fire.
Lehigh County companies working at the scene included 33, 41, 2, 11 and 5. Northampton County companies included 15, 45 & 46. Under Control was transmitted by Chief 33 at 2137 hours. Rescue/Pumper 3341 remained on scene throughout the night on fire watch.
