At 10:59 am, Rescue 5-7 was dispatched on the first alarm to assist the Willow Street FC (5-12) on a mobile home fire at 121 Locust Lane in the Spread Eagle Mobile Home Park in Providence Township.  Rawlinsville FC (5-8) and Refton FC (5-9) were also due on the assignment.

Chief 5-12 (Mike Reese) arrived on the scene with a exterior fire on a mobile home, with possible extension into the residence.  Engine 5-12-1 arrived and stretched a line with the crew extinguishing all visible fire.  Rescue 5-7 arrived and began assembling the RIT equipment, when command said there was no need for the RIT, and our manpower would be used in staging. 

The crew assisted with several tasks, and were released from the scene at 12:31 pm. 

Red Cross is assisting the occupants of the residence with housing and additional needs due to the fire.
