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. The alarm was
logged as false and mali-
cious and is under investiga-
tion.
