Tuesday at 1234 the Westwood Fire Company was dispatched to the 400 block of Doe Run Road in East Fallowfield Township for an auto fire. Calls to 911 indicated flames were coming from an automobile and nobody was believed to be inside of it.

Upon arrival of Ambulance 44-1, at 1250, our cross trained firefighter/EMTs used a portable fire extinguisher to knock down the fire. Rescue 44 arrived minutes later at 1242 and stretched an 1-1/2" hose line to completely extinguish the fire and utilized the Hurst Defender spreader to gain access to the engine compartment.

The fire was placed under control at 1250 and final units were released within 30 minutes of dispatch.
