Lincoln Station 184/610 was dispatched to McLean Drive for a brush fire in the rear of a few residences on Tuesday afternoon March 24th.  Police arrived on scene and reported the fire was spreading.  Chief 184 requested Engine 183 for assistance to the scene.  Tanker 184-1 and Engine 184 arrived on scene and started extinguishing the brush fire and a small pile of railroad ties that were burning.  Crews from 183 Engine assisted on scene and Elizabeth Twp EMS stood by on scene as well.  The cause is under investigation.

Crews responded to a reported accident with unknown injuries in the 100 block of Finney Road shortly after midnight on Wednesday, March 18th.

Assistant 184 was the first fire unit on scene and reported one small pickup truck on its roof leaking gasoline.  There were no injuries and no entrapment.  Liberty Rescue 183 was canceled while en route as Engine 184 was able to handle.  Nine volunteers responded and assisted with containment and cleanup duties.

The driver apparently lost control around the S-bend and rode up the embankment and flipped the vehicle onto its roof.

The vehicle was towed and all units cleared around 1:30 am.

Our tanker was called into the city of Duquesne around 1am on Saturday October 5th to assist with a structure fire.  Tanker 184-1 responded and supplied Homestead Truck 171.

Initial crews from Duquesne and West Mifflin arrived to very heavy fire conditions and requested tankers to the scene. Our tanker, along with Monroeville Tanker 5, Jefferson Tanker 180, and PIA Tanker 100 all responded to the scene.

All tankers were cleared once the fire was under control and Tanker 184-1 cleared around 2:40am.

Shortly before noon, on Friday September 19th, we were dispatched to San Juan Drive in Port Vue at the Westwood Apartments for a kitchen fire.  Fortunately, the owner was able to extinguish the fire before it grew and major damage was avoided.  Our tanker responded to and stood by the scene until Port Vue’s Chief determined our services were not needed and we were cleared and back in service shortly after.
