Around noon on Wednesday July 21, 2021 Ambulance 37-2 was alerted to assist Wagontown on a house fire with multiple burn patients in West Brandywine. Shortly after that the company was dispatched for a Engine to relocate station 35.

Ambulance 37-2 arrived and assisted with patient care and later transported to local hospital. All in all 6 members of the family were taken to local hospitals ether by ground or by air medical.

Engine 37-2 w/6 responded and as they were arriving at station 35 got redirected to the fire scene for manpower. Crews arrived and assisted with fire suppression activity's.

This was a challenging fire from the start handled well by all, sadly this family lost everything and has a long road to recovery, we ask everyone to keep them in your thoughts and prays.

Modena units returned to station around 5pm.
