Reported House Fire on Hunter’s Court North
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.
