NEWS FROM 105
TWO FLOWN FROM RT 51 CRASH
1/22/10-- Just before 10am, two cars collided at Route 51 and Vernon Drive.  Rescue 105's crew assisted EMS with patient packaging and cleared debris from the roadway.  Rostraver EMS transported the most serious victim to Rostraver Airport to be airlifted by LifeFlight 5.  As paramedics evaluated the other patients, they determined another medical helicopter was necessary.  Rescue 105 responded to the EMS base on Pleasant Valley Blvd to land STAT MedEvac.  All units cleared in approximately 1 hour.
TRUCK ASSISTS AT DICK'S WAREHOUSE
1/11/10-- Truck 105 was dispatched with the first alarm assignment to Dick's Sporting Goods warehouse in South Huntingdon Twp for an automatic fire alarm.  While enroute, calls from the warehouse indicated some type of fire at the complex.  E-17 (Smithton) arrived to find a trash compactor on fire in the loading area.  The compactor had been attached to the building when it ignited and created a smoke condition in the building.  Truck 105 arrived next with E-107 (Turkeytown) and sent a crew to the interior to check for extension.  The fire was confined to the compactor unit and command requested the vent unit from Westmoreland City to assist.  Truck 105 was released shortly after and filled Station 17.
FURNACE FIRE IN WEBSTER
1/10/10-- Township companies responded to 641 Webster Hollow Road for a reported furnace fire.  E-31 (Webster) arrived and reported a possible malfunction with the unit requiring ventilation.  Engine 105's crew started positive pressure ventilation on the 1st floor.  As the furnace was re-fired, the defective unit caused buildup inside the flue to ignite.  Crews doused the fire with an extinguisher and checked on the other floors for extension.  All units cleared in just over an hour.  EMS transported one occupant of the residence who complained of smoke inhalation.
FURNACE FIRE, 105 AREA
1/4/10-- The residents of 1290 Rostraver Road awoke to their house filled with smoke and called 911 for the fire department.  Chief 105 arrived first, reporting a possible furnace fire and requested a line to the front door.  Crews from 105 located the malfunction, shut down the unit, and checked for extension.  Truck 105 arrived next and started ventilation, assisted by crews from 31 (Webster).  E-103 (Collinsburg) and RIT 11 (Sutersville) were returned before arriving.  Rostraver EMS evaluated the occupants for symptoms of smoke inhalation.  105 units returned to station within an hour.
