Automatic aid from Coatesville and Keystone Valley were also on the assignment.

Deputy Chief Scott arrived first reporting a 2 story SFD with smoke showing from division 2 side alpha and requested a working fire dispatch. This requested re-alerted the first alarm companies of a working fire, and added additional resources from Cochranville and East Brandywine, fire marshals and utility companies to all respond.
