On Friday September 9th, 2016 at 1854 the Westwood Fire Company was dispatched to the 200 block of Country Club Road in Valley Township for a stove on fire. Assistant 44 marked enroute at 1856 and was advised of smoke coming from the front of the house and the homeowner reported they knocked down the fire with a portable fire extinguisher. Engine 44-5 with a crew of 4 was also responding.

Arriving at 1900, Assistant 44 confirmed the report and advised the engine to go in service with ventilation upon arrival. Engine 44-5 arrived and went in service with positive pressure ventilation to remove the smoke from the house caused by the fire that was in the stove.

Additional crews secured the power to the stove and checked for extension into the adjacent walls using a thermal imaging camera. All checks came back negative and the company cleared the scene at 1925.
