At ~ 3:10 PM, Westmoreland 911 dispatched Station 20 (Murrysville VFC) for an Automatic Fire Alarm (AFA) at a home on Old William Penn Highway. Station 20 responded with Truck 20 (3 firefighters), with Captain 20 going directly to the scene, and 2 additional firefighters manning the station. Westmoreland 911 also dispatched the following stations to support Station 20: Station 64 (White Valley VFC), Station 22 (Export VFC), Station 78 (Sardis VFC) and Station 610 (Murrysville Medic One). Captain 20 was first on scene, established command, and observed no smoke or fire coming from the structure.
