01/06/11 - Fatal house fire on Chestnut Street. Units arrived to find fire on the 1st floor with smoke pushing from the 2nd floor windows. To go along with that, someone filled the nearest fire hydrant with household fiberglass and foam insulation. Luckily, only the intake got clogged on the engine. This was after flushing the hydrant, still more debris came out of it. Hence the reason we should flush a hydrant before attaching a supply line to it. With this obviously being intentional, it was hard to tell how much insulation was actually in the hydrant. Thanks to Chief 145 with assisting us in inspecting the pump and tank to make sure none of the debris made it inside. AC7 and Co.33 handled the transfers. Also thanks to AC7 who remained while we were assessing the possible damage to Engine 136.
