Residential Bathroom Fire - Cypress Drive

At ~11:40 AM, Westmoreland 911 dispatched Station 20 (Murrysville VFC) to assist Station 78 (Sardis VFC) for a report of a bathroom fire in a home on Cypress Drive. Station 20 responded with Truck 20 (6 firefighters including Assistant Chief 20), with Chief 20 going directly to the scene, 2 firefighters on station standby in case Engine 20 was needed at the scene. Westmoreland 911 also dispatched the following additional stations to support Station 78: Station 236 (Holiday Park VFC), Station 183 (Renton VFC), Monroeville #5, Station 610 (Murrysville Medic One), and the Murrysville Police. Engine 78 with Deputy Chief 78 was first on scene, with Deputy 78 establishing the command. Upon entry by Engine 78's crew it was found that the bathroom fan had caught fire, and started to expand into the attic before self-extinguishing. Truck 20, Truck 236, Engine 183, Support 610, and Medic 617, and their crews were employed by Command 78 to investigate any expansion of the fire into the home's attic, and isolate the electrical circuit that caused the fan fire. The interior firefighters ensured that the fire was extinguished, and there was no expansion of the fire beyond the immediate area of the bathroom. Upon completion of the salvage and overhaul phase, Command 78 released units for return to service and station. Truck 20 returned to service and station.
