At 1426 hours the West Grove Fire Company was dispatched to a fire type unknown behind the PECO facilities in West Grove Borough. Chief and Deputy 22, along with Ambulance 22-3 and Engine 22 (Vattilana) with 6, went enroute shortly after dispatch. Upon Engine 22's arrival Chief assigned the crew to pull the 1 3/4" hand line and begin fire attack. Engine 22 released the Knox Box key to gain entry into the facilities. Chief 22 requested the Fire Marshall and a PECO representative to be sent to the scene to assess the damages and to note the origin of the fire. After the fire was placed under control the crew re-packed the hose and all units went available at 1500 hours.
