At 7:41PM on Wednesday August 7th, 2019 the Volunteers at Upland Fire Company were once again alerted to a house fire – this time in the 100 Block of Griffith Street. Chief 57 (D.Smith) arrived and assumed command. Parkside Fire Company arrived first, (6th District Duty Engine for the evening which places a staffed piece of apparatus on the street immediately) securing a water supply and stretched a handline inside the house. Engine 57 arrived second and crews investigated an odor of smoke with a light smoke condition on the second floor. During the investigation, we determined that there was an active fire in the attic area above the second floor ceiling. Crews began to pull the ceiling to gain access to the fire. Brookhaven Fire Co. Station 52 Delco, Pa set up out front and sent a crew to the roof and was then instructed to open it up. (cut a hole in the roof) Crews worked together to bring the fire under control with-in the hour. Garden City Fire Company #1 also assisted on scene as well as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) from Lower Chichester Volunteer Fire Company. Thank you to Eddystone Fire Company No. 1 for covering the Borough of Upland while we operated at the fire scene and assisting us with restoring the equipment on Engine 57 when we returned.
