Over 75 firefighters from seven companies had the blaze under control in just over one hour but remained on the scene over four hours. Several firefighters were treated at the scene for minor injuries. Firefighting efforts were hampered by a light turn out of manpower on the initial alarm.

Vigilant Hose,
Cumberland Valley Hose and
West End Fire and Rescue companies assisted at the scene.
