Tower 67 operated on a house fire yesterday in the 2000 block of State Street in East Petersburg Borough. LCWC advised they were receiving multiple calls for a house on fire with possible people trapped. Units arrived with fire showing from the D side and had fire on the second floor and attic. The Tower Company searched and opened up for the Engine Companies. Searches were negative and all occupants were accounted for. Thanks to Wrightsville Fire & Rescue Company 41 & Elizabethtown Fire Dept Station 74 for covering our first-due during the fire.

Shout out to Colton Robert’s who recently completed his final sign-offs needed to ride the Tower Company and also receive his tower front. Colton has demonstrated proficiency in operating as a member of the tower company, and spent countless hours of training over the past ten months honing his engine and truck skills in order to achieve this milestone. Congrats, well done Colton! #tower67 #engine67 #rohrerstownfire

Tower Company 67 operated on two separate box alarms last night. The first box alarm was a fire in an apartment building in Lancaster Township. As the tower was clearing this call, they were sent to another box alarm in an industrial building in Manheim Township.
