Yesterday, the company handled a 2 alarm house fire in our first due, which started in a detached garage. Engine 502 and 54-2 arrived simultaneously and stretched multiple lines to knock down the fire in the garage and the house. The fire in the house was contained mostly to the siding outside, the attic, and the 2 rooms directly against the garage. Crews worked for about 3 hours before clearing. We were assisted by members from Lampeter, West Willow, New Danville, Quarryville, Lancaster Township, Blue Rock Fire Rescue, Strasburg, Conestoga, Manheim Township Fire Rescue, Ronks, Gordonville, and Reamstown fire companies. Thank you to Rescue 80 (Columbia) for standing by in our station. Willow Street Fire Company. Taken 12/17/22
Engine 502 is a 2010 Pierce Arrow XT

FAQs-
Q: "Where is this?"
A: Our fire house is located in the town of Willow Street, just south of Lancaster City, Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
Q: "What is the spinning thing?"
A: That is called the "Roto-Ray," it is a spinning light designed to catch drivers attention.
Q: "Why is the call so far away?" or "Why does it take so long to get there?"
A: Many of our responses, or at least many of the ones that are uploaded are responding to assist other departments. Usually another firehouse can be seen or is passed by who is already on the call. We can reach the far end of our first due in West Lampeter Twp within 5 minutes, and in Providence Twp about 7.
Q: "What camera are you using?"
A: For dash cams I use a GoPro Hero 7, helmet cam videos I use a FireCam 1080
