Westwood Fire and EMS were dispatched at 1442 to the Coatesville Moose Lodge Friday May 27th, 2016 for the report of an electrical fire inside. Lodge personnel were on site reporting an odor of something burning inside the Ballroom area.
Fire units arrived on scene and investigated the reports, finding an odor and haze of smoke inside.
Wagontown Assistant Chief Patton assumed Command and Sadsburyville Fire Chief assumed Operations. Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to locate any possible fire and searches came back negative.
The incident was scaled down as it was believed to be a furnace malfunction. Firefighters used natural ventilation to remove the smoke.
Units:
Engine 44-5, Ambulance 44-1, Ambulance 144
