Just before 930 PM Companies 19 and 24 East Lansdowne were dispatched to the area of Wycombe and Linden Avenues for a building fire. 19-9 Young went responding and was advised by Fireboard of numerous calls being received. 19-9 who was in the area arrived quickly to find the front porch of a 3 story single family dwelling that was abandoned involved with the fire extending to the interior. Engine 19 was ordered to lay a supply line and began fire extinguishment. Ladder 19 arrived and began ventilation. Ventilation efforts were slowed by the windows being boarded up. Crews first had to remove the boards then take out the windows. Crews from Engine 24-1 and Pipeline 19 place a second and third line in service and began to check for extension on the second and third floors. Company 16 Yeadon was special called to assist crews with ventilation and overhaul. Crews managed to make a quick knock down on the fire with minor extension to the interior. One firefighter from Lansdowne was transported to the hospital for a hand injury. Cover for Station 19 was provided by Engine 63 Green Ridge Quint 06 Collingdale 1 and Rescue 42 Collingdale 2
