Around 7:45 pm on Saturday, July 2, Tanker 52 was struck out to assist Delaware County Station 5-9 (Concordville) on the working building fire on Ringfield Road. Upon the response of Tanker 52, the fire extended from a garage into a residential dwelling and the water on the tanker was quickly dumped while the tanker then went to refill the tank. Meanwhile, Station 53 (Fame) and Station 52 were redispatched for an engine and manpower assistance in Concordville. Engine 53, Engine 52-2, and Air 52 joined Tanker 52 at the scene and the crews went to work assiting the other fire companies with extinguishing the fire. The engines and air truck returned to the borough around 11 and the tanker then returned around 1 AM on Sunday. The fire was placed under control about 2 hours after the original dispatch.
