At 3:46, Squad 41 and Truck 42 responded when 911 upgraded an AFA at Manor Care Nursing Home on box 1-02 in Chambersburg to “fire in the building”. 41 arrived and was assigned to start resident evacuations. Units found a small heater on fire and a slight smoke condition. No evacuations needed. Co.1 placed units in service.

Truck 42 just returned to quarters when a citizen ran to the firehouse saying there was an auto accident w/ a vehicle rolled over at W King St & Hood St. Truck 42 called out the accident and requested the assignment. Co.1 units still at Manor Care, Squad 41 cleared and responded as the Engine Co. Squad arrived and mitigated a fluid spill and initiated patient care. 2 patients refused treatment.
