Police Department Operations and a Box
Alarm
Feb 8th
- After
returning from the auto accident at N. Franklin and Rife St. members
were greeted by the Chambersburg Police Department. Apparently
an individual across from the firehouse was in mental distress which
required the Chambersburg Police SET team to conduct operations at
the firehouse. During the incident King St was shut down to all
traffic which sent E43 to Co. 1 headquarters station in the event an
engine call was received. T42 and SQ41 were placed back to
back facing the rear bay door. At 1939 hours with the Police
Department in position, SQ41 was dispatched to 368 Mountain Rd in Peters Township
for an inside investigation of smoke. SQ41 snuck out the rear
of the station and responded but was placed in service prior to
arriving on the scene. As SQ41 was backing into the station,
Chambersburg Police Officers advised members that the situation
across the street had been defused and "The Big House" could
return to normal operations. E43 returned home and the Truck and
Squad were returned to their respective bays.
