At 1317 hours, the Union Fire Company No. 1 was alerted to assist the West Grove Fire Company (Stations 12 & 22) on a reported Garage Fire on Lewisville Road in New London Township. Calls to 911 reported a vehicle on fire inside a garage.

Ambulance 22-2 was the first to arrive finding a working fire inside a single story detached garage. Engine 12-1 arrived and the crew stretched an 1.75" handline to the interior and began attacking the fire.

Engine 21-2 and Engine 21-4 arrived. The crews went into the scene and assisted with overhaul of both the garage and the vehicle. Engine 21-2 supplied Engine 12-1 via a 3" line. Engine 21-1 was redirected to Station 12 for the fill-in assignment.

The fire was placed under control shortly after the fire departments arrival.

The final units from the "21 House" cleared the scene at 1401 hours.
