| Foam line from Squad 13 extinguishes fuel fire |
On the afternoon of August 9th A-group was dispatched for a tractor trailer vs. a car on Rt. 295 northbound between Warwick Rd. and Copley Ave. This sent Squad 13, Rescue 13, Battalion 13 along with Lawnside Squad 27-2, BLS 9 and BLS 1396. Squad 27-2 arrived to a tractor trailer on fire facing south in the northbound lanes into a SUV in the center lane.

Once they confirmed all occupants
were out of the vehicles they stretched a 1 3/4\” handline to start extinguishing the fire consuming both vehicles. Upon Squad 13 arriving in the southbound lanes they set up a foam line under the direction of Captain Houck. They proceeded to extinguish the fuel feed fire on the ground, the tires and the rubber bumpers in the guard rail.
