I'm watching the dispatch log and they've been pulling units from Berks and Lebanon Counties, either for the fire or station transfers.Samuel-Stoltzfus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:03 am Yeah, it's quite a fire. That whole strip including the furniture store is still burning.
My brother's station which is 25 mins away just had a tanker get called out to help with it at 7 this morning and that's 3 hours after it started.
It'll be awhile yet till it all clears up I'm sure.
My delivery driver from JFM counted over 80 units present this morning.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:28 amI'm watching the dispatch log and they've been pulling units from Berks and Lebanon Counties, either for the fire or station transfers.Samuel-Stoltzfus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:03 am Yeah, it's quite a fire.

I believe it. They're having the same issues as the Weaver Nut fire: Can't get enough water.mike wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 9:13 amMy delivery driver from JFM counted over 80 units present this morning.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:28 amI'm watching the dispatch log and they've been pulling units from Berks and Lebanon Counties, either for the fire or station transfers.Samuel-Stoltzfus wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:03 am Yeah, it's quite a fire.

There is a firewall between the two businesses, and the firefighters were fighting from that side on the inside. But at one point it was believed that wall was not sustainable, and now the firefighters are only fighting from the outside. So sad for everyone.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 9:37 am Sounds like Martin Appliance went with it. They shared the building.
I had heard that. There are a handful of my fellow coworkers that also worked there "back in the day." Plus Martin's is a customer of my current employer. We're all watching it close.Grace wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 9:50 amThere is a firewall between the two businesses, and the firefighters were fighting from that side on the inside.
