At ~ 2:18 PM, Westmoreland 911 dispatched Station 20 (Murrysville VFC) for an Automatic Fire Alarm (AFA) at PMH Orchard on Orchard Court. Station 20 responded with 5 firefighters going to the station to crew Truck 20, while 4 firefighters including Captain 20 went directly to the scene. Westmoreland 911 also dispatched the following stations to support Station 20: Station 9 (Level Green VFC), Station 64 (White Valley VFC), Station 22 (Export VFC), Station 78 (Sardis VFC), Station 87 (Harrison VFC), and Station 610 (Murrysville Medic One). Captain 20 was first on scene, established the command, found no smoke or fire coming from the structure, and upon investigation found that a cooking accident had activated the AFA System. The AFA System was reset, and Command 20 returned all responding stations to service and station. Truck 20 remained in service and in station.
