Truck 50 Assists on Strasburg 2 Alarm Building Fire *Helmet Cam*

On scene footage begins at 11:15
Truck 50 responding to assist Station 05 (Strasburg) as the 3rd due truck on a 2 alarm fire at Hershey Farms Restaurant. The Tower was originally sent to the A/B corner to set up, but with already 2 trucks set up out front, Chief 50 attempted to find a way to get the Truck around to the rear. The decision was made to shut down the 5" supply for 30 seconds so it could be disconnected to get the Truck across, and then hooked back up. After setting up on side C, we made our way to the roof to investigate the possibility of making a trench cut to stop the fire spread. However, with fire already consuming more than half the building, as well as there being multiple heavy HVAC units on that part of the roof, it was determined there was no use or safe way to do it. After getting water, the Truck flowed for some time, along with Truck 05 and Truck 63, until the bulk of the fire was knocked down. As we arrive on scene you can also see Engine 502 laying a supply line to a nearby hydrant. Also shortly after arrival you can hear the message announcing for all units to evacuate the building.

Truck 50 is a 2003 Pierce Dash.
