At 4:54PM on Sunday, July 27, Station 49, along with mutual aid, was dispatched to the 200 block of School Lane Road in Salisbury Township for a barn fire.

Lancaster County Communications was reporting a small oil fire in the barn, and that the resident was attempting to extinguish with extinguishers.

Units arrived with a light smoke condition visible from the exterior, with a fire in the ceiling on the inside. Fire damage was contained to that area.

Fire was placed under control a few minutes after arrival of the first suppression apparatus.

One civilian was checked by EMS for burns, but was not transported to a hospital.

Thanks to Chris Kennedy for the pictures!
