Sunday February 19th, 2017 at 1400 hours the Wagontown Fire Company was dispatched to the 600 block of West Kings Highway in West Caln Township for woods on fire. Within minutes units arrived to find an active woods fire being wind driven.

Wagontown Chief Ziegler established the Kings Highway Command and advised all hands working. Additional Fire and EMS units were requested to respond summoning the Sadsburyville, Westwood and Honey Brook Fire Companies.

Firefighters worked together to stop the fire from spreading and overhauled the burn area to prevent later rekindles. The fire was quickly under control within a half hour with several hose lines in service. Westwood units cleared the scene at 1603 hours.
