On November 19th, 2016 at 1734 the Honey Brook, Twin Valley and Westwood Fire Companies were dispatched for a house fire in the 900 block of Reservoir Road in Honey Brook Township. Calls to 911 indicated a woods fire that was spreading to a nearby house. Engine 44-5 with a crew of 3 and Traffic 44 responded at 1741. Prior to this fire being dispatched a large front of wind and cold temperatures surged the area.

Honey Brook Deputy Chief Robb held the Reservoir Road Command. Honey Brook units went in service to bring the fire under control before consuming the nearby house. Arriving at 1806 Engine 44-5 stood by at the end of the driveway ready to supply the scene. The fire was quickly brought under control and Westwood units were not needed. Engine 44-5 redirected to Highland Township for a woods fire at 1812.
