CALL 367-2959 by Bill Martin Friendship Fire Company No. 1 responded to five fire calls in the first two weeks of June. Among the S calls were two false and malicious alarms. June 3 at 8:00 p.m, Friendship and Florin Fire Depts. responded to the Gerald Erb farm, R.D.1, Mount Joy. Erb called Chief Frank Good when he noticed vapor coming from his hay loft in the barn. The Chief took a temperature check of the hay loft with the hay testor and readings were between 144 deg. and 174 deg. The 174 deg. readings were high and the Chief requested Friendship and Florin Companies to re- spond to move the over- heated hay. Nearby farmers responded with their trac- tors and wagons. The firemen and farmers unload- ed 4,000 bales to rid the hay loft of the hotspot. Firemen were on the scene until 1:07 a.m. Approximately 30 men from each company respon- ded. The same evening Friend- ship and Florin responded to a false and malicious call at 11:00 p.m. Friendship and Florin were in the midst of removing over-heated hay from the Gerald Erb barn when the call came in. One truck responded from the Florin Station while Florin Rescue and one pumper from Mount Joy responded from the farm. The alarm was supposedly a car fire at Donegal and New Haven Streets. However, when the companies arrived on the scene, no car was on location. The call is under investigation. Two mobile homes were saved and one destroyed in a fire at Paul's Mobile Homes at the junction of Routes 230 and 283. The fire was reported by Dennis Gantz at 9:48 p.m. When the Department arrived 2 minutes later, firemen found the living room in flames. Within minutes firemen doused the flames and began to overhaul the rest of the home. There was considerable heat and Friendship Fire Co. has been busy Chief Frank Good Battling mobil home fire smoke damage throughout the rest of the 1959 Ventura Mobile Home. Damage to the contents and building was estimated at $2,500.00. Chief Frank Good credited the quick response of the firemen for saving two adjacent mobile homes. The home on the east side was valued at $5,500.00 and the west side at $15,000.00. Damage to each mobile home was estimated at $100.00. The cause of the blaze is pending investiga- tion by the Chief and County Fire Marshal. The Depart- ment remained on the scene until 1:05 a.m. At 5:45 p.m. June 10 the company responded to a tractor accident at the intersection of the Mount Joy Pike and Espenshade Don Snyder and Lester Stoner Road. The tractor was turning onto Espenshade Road when it began to slide. The driver jumped clear of the tractor and avoided injury. Damage was estima- ted at $400.00. The Company stood by while the tractor was righted by farmers and washed the gasoline off the road. The Department was in service S0 minutes. Thursday, June 12, at 11:40 p.m. Friendship siren blew again. Upon arriving at the fire station, firemen found the siren blowing but no call.
