Thursday evening, just before 7 pm, Homestead Fire (171) units were alerted to a reported house fire. Chief 775 (Munhall Bureau of Fire) arrived on scene reporting a well-involved three story dwelling impinging on a three story duplex and immediately requested a second alarm. Eventually, the fire rose to four alarms bringing a task force (E-51, E-42, T-5) out of Monroeville. E-42 was assigned as the 4th Rapid Intervention Team taking a position on the Southeast corner of the incident. No RIT activations were needed and E-42 was released by Command after approximately one hour. Photos courtesy JBettell Photography
