During the lunch hour, Company 67 was alerted to Village Circle for a fire alarm. Engine 671, Tower 67, and Captain 673 (Nonnemacher) with a staffing of 9 arrived with normal conditions. Crews found a blown sprinkler pipe with maintenance already working on the problem and required no assistance. Then about an hour later, Company 67 was alerted to Hempland Road for a fire alarm. The units from 67 arrived and confirmed a false activation. Then about another hour later, Engine 671 was alerted to assist with a lock out at a local medical complex. Then during the dinner time; units from 23 (East Petersburg), 719 (Hempfield), 27 (Neffsville), and 67 were alerted to the 5700 block of Main Street for a house on fire. Engine 671 and Tower 67 made the response with a total staffing of 8. Quint 23 arrived and found a small trash can fire in the kitchen and downgraded the assignment to Company 23 only. Then at 2343 hours, Engine 671 was alerted with Company 211 (Southern Manheim Twp) for a crash with entrapment on Harrisburg Pike near Route 30. Engine 671 was the first to arrive to find a single car that was on its roof. Truck 24 added on to the assignment as the 2nd due Rescue Squad. The crew from 67 pulled a line for protection and stabilized the vehicle. Crews from Rescue-Engine 211 and Truck 24 worked together to remove the windshield to gain access to the patient. Engine 671 cleared the scene just after midnight.
