On July 11, 2015 at 1208 hours the Sadsburyville Fire Company was alerted to assist the Westwood Fire Company with a working garage fire in the 100 Block of Mineral Springs Road in Valley Township. The structure involved was a large 20' X 30' detached from the house garage and fire was showing upon arrival of the first due units.

Westwood Deputy Chief Scott arrived and established the Mineral Springs Road Command and Chief Grossman was the Operations Officer. Engine 31-1 and Engine 35 arrived simultaneously and established a supply line to the end of the driveway which Engine 44-5 picked up. Firefighters from Sadsburyville, Wagontown and Westwood went in service with multiple hand lines to knock down the bulk of the fire and protect the exposure buildings.

The fire was quickly placed under control at 1238 hours with extensive overhaul to be completed. Firefighters worked well into the morning overhauling and cleaning up equipment. In addition no injuries were reported during this incident. Thank you to the Christiana Fire Company for standing by in the Westwood Fire Station to cover the area while our units were in service.
