West Grove firefighters were in Franklin Township for rural water supply training Monday night when they were dispatched to assist the Union Fire Company of Oxford on a building fire in East Nottingham Township.
Responding from training were WGFC's Engine 22-1, Engine 22-2, Ladder 22, Rescue 22 and Tanker 22. They joined units from Cochranville and Rising Sun in supporting Oxford's crews who advanced two hoselines into a commercial structure with fire reported in the attic and a smoke condition in the building. West Grove crews assisted with overhaul and smoke removal.
WGFC units were on scene in Oxford for approximately two hours.
