At approximately 1 am on Thursday, January 25, the Engine Company 52 responded to a reported vehicle fire in the area of Route 3 and Route 202. Shortly before responding, an ambulance and medic unit were added to the call with the report of the vehicle still occupied, with occupants refusing to get out. Engine 52-1 (Davis) responded shortly after with a crew of 7 along with Assistant 52 (Stafford), followed by Tanker 52 (Cotter). Police arrived on location and removed the operator of the vehicle. WCFD crews arrived to find a minivan with a working fire in the engine compartment extending well into the passenger compartment. A 1 and 3/4 inch crosslay was extended, and crews quickly had the fire under control. Units operated for just over 30 minutes before turning the scene over to a towing company and West Goshen Police.
