On Monday May 16th, 2016 at 0932 Westwood EMS and Fire Police were dispatched to the 800 block of West Lincoln Highway in Valley Township for an auto accident, vehicle versus a telephone pole. Minutes later the assignment was upgraded to an accident involving fire. Battalion Chief Sly, Ambulance 44-1 and Traffic 44 were all responding.

Battalion Chief Sly arrived on location at 0938 and found an off duty firefighter on scene using a fire extinguisher to extinguish the small fire in the engine compartment. With the fire being completely out the Rescue Truck was recalled.

Ambulance 44-1 received a patient refusal as nobody wanted to go to the hospital and Traffic 44 assisted the Valley Police Department with traffic control. Peco Energy was notified of a damaged pole.
