On Friday January 22nd, 2016 at 1938 hours the Modena Fire Company was dispatched to assist the City of Coatesville on an apartment fire in the 300 block of West Lincoln Highway in Coatesville. Also on the assignment was the Westwood Fire Company and Veterans Affairs Fire Department.

Coatesville Engine 43-1 arrived on location and confirmed a working kitchen fire. Firefighters deployed a 1-3/4" hose line to the rear of the structure and made entry into the apartment on fire. Once inside firefighters encountered flames in the kitchen area and smoke throughout. The fire was quickly extinguished and firefighters took nearby windows to ventilate the smoke.

Lincoln Highway Command was established by Coatesville Battalion Chief Lentz and Westwood Deputy Chief Scott assumed operations.
Modena made the response with all three engine, Engine 37-2 and 3 went into the scene and assisted with overhaul, Engine 37-1 was redirected to station 41 for standby

Firefighters from Modena, Westwood and Coatesville wrapped up all hose lines laid by Engine 43-2 to extinguish the fire.
