Battalion Two and Three along with Duty Engine 943 were dispatched for a building fire at the Cornell Crane Facility on Old Broadway in the Westville Grove Section of Deptford. Captain Wilson (9202) arrived on location and reported a 100′ by 200′ industrial warehouse with heavy fire on the B/C corner. Captain Wilson had the alarm room complete the “All hands” fire box bringing additional resources. Engine 922 arrived and stretched a 1 3/4 hand line preparing for suppression as Engine 943 stopped at a fire hydrant and prepared for water supply. Squad 921 arrived and entered the storage yard and were given the task to force entry into the building and check for extension. The fire was held to an exterior ice machine and crews reported no extension into the building. The all Hands box was recalled and the Deptford Fire Department Fire Marshal’s Office was summoned to the scene for the investigation.
