Westmoreland 911 also dispatched Station 78 (Sardis VFC) and Station 610 (Murrysville Medic One). Assistant Chief 20 was first on scene, and established the command. Chief 20, Engine 78, Medic 616, and Rescue 20 arrived. Chief 20 assumed the command, and the interior firefighters entered the structure and surveyed the home using 4-Gas Meters.
