At 22:12 Station 6, Station 25 along with Station 53 were dispatched to a house fire on Ashbridge Road in West Goshen. Engine 6-2 was first on scene along with Assistant 53 and began an aggressive interior attack with a 1¾ hose line under zero visibility and extreme heat conditions while exterior crews established water supply. The interior team determined that the fire was in the basement and started the fire attack from the 1st floor through a hole in kitchen floor. A crew from station 25 deployed a 2nd 1¾ while another crew advanced a 3rd line into the basement. Engine 6-2s crew then started overhaul in the attic space and eventually cleared the scene around 0:30 hours.
