About 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 25 the PHFD was dispatched to assist the Wheeling FD with a house on fire. Truck 9, Chief Smith, and Deputy Chief Jones responded to the location on Versailles Court in Wheeling. On arrival the rear of the home was on fire. The fire had spread to the attic and interior of the home. Deputy Chief Jones assisted at the command post. Chief Smith supervised fire suppression efforts at the rear of the home. Truck 9's crew raised its aerial ladder to the roof and cut a large hole to release the heat and smoke in the attack which threatened to spread to unignited areas. Several other area fire departments also assisted.
