Car Fire with Exposures at the CVS

In the late morning hours, Engine 1512 and 112, Tanker 2821, Truck 731, and Station 66 were dispatched to the East Penn Bank on Main St. in Macungie Borough for a vehicle fire with an exposure.  Chief 101 (D. Smith), while responding to the station, found a single vehicle, fully involved with exposures to adjacent vehicles and the CVS building.  Engine 1512 arrived on the scene and laid a supply line from a hydrant at West End Trail and the CVS parking lot.  Engine 112 arrived shortly after Engine 1512.  Crews from both engines simultaneously pulled 2- 1 and 3/4 inch pre connects and attacked the fire from the front of the vehicles.  The fire required copious amounts of water due to the high heat and burning magnesium.  The fire was knocked down and extensive overhaul was preformed.  Extension was held to only the adjacent car.
