On Wednesday, May 4th, 2011 the Westwood Fire Company and one Engine from the Sadsburyville Fire Company were dispatched at 1011 to the 1200 block of West Lincoln Highway in Valley Township for an automatic fire alarm activation.

The Sadsburyville Fire Company responds to all calls in this area due to the proximity of their fire station.

Rescue 44 and Ambulance 44-1 responded at 1016.

Sadsburyville Engine 31-1 arrived just one minute prior to our apparatus and determined that there was smoke inside the structure. The source was quickly traced to an unattended cooking fire.

Crews ventilated smoke from the building and ensured that the fire was contained to the stove.

Early alarm activation clearly saved this structure from additional damage.

All units cleared the scene at 1039.
