Yesterday, Newport Volunteers were dispatched for a reported house fire on Hunter’s Court North in our first due. Bensalem Police arrived on scene and reported a working fire. Deputy Chief 44 arrived on scene, reported a working basement fire, and established Newport Command. Engine 88 arrived as the first in-engine company, established their own water supply, and stretched to the residence. Engine 44 arrived as the second in engine company and pulled a backup line. Companies operated for an extended period of time and ultimately cut holes into the first floor of the residence and utilized cellar nozzles. No injuries were reported. Bensalem Fire Rescue is investigating the cause of the fire.
