At 1740 hours, Lehigh County dispatched stations 8, 25, 26 and 51 to 2391 Hailey Court in Weisenberg Township for a vehicle fire in an attached garage. Chief 802 radioed shortly after dispatch that he could see smoke from a distance. Chief 5101 arrived on the scene confirming a working fire and established Hailey Command at 1747 hours. Command requested a second alarm be dispatched bringing in Truck 831, Engine 1012, Tanker 1021, Tanker 1721, Attack 1771, Tanker 2221, Engine 2611 and RIT from Station 1. Engine 811 was the first engine on scene and tagged a hydrant across the street from the residence and stretched a line to the "D" side of the structure. Truck 831 arrived and backed into the driveway and setup for aerial operations. The truck crew began removing the garage doors while the engine company extinguished the fire. Truck 5131 arrived and stretched a 2.5 inch line to the rear. Further arriving companies sent their manpower to the front of the structure to assist interior crews. The fire was knocked down quickly and positive pressure ventilation was set up. At this time, command ordered all units not on scene to proceed with caution. Crews remained performing overhaul and checking for hotspots well into the evening. No injuries were noted.
