On Saturday April 12th, 2014 at 1504 hours the Westwood Fire Company was dispatched as part of a first alarm assignment for an outbuilding fire in the 100 block of Modena Road in South Coatesville Borough.

After dispatch Modena Chief Dowlin was advised of a shed on fire and was believed to be a working fire due to numerous calls to 911. Chief Dowlin arrived on location at 1509 hours, confirmed the reports, added a 1/4 acre of woods on fire and assumed Modena Road Command.

Tankers, brush trucks and additional engine companies were requested and directed to Overhill Road and Cambria Avenue to get a stop on the fire. The fire was contained at 1555 hours with all hands working. The fire had contained 3.5-4 acres before being contained.
