🇺🇸 Happy Veter

Just after midnight, 192 Squad was requested into Chalfant for a residential structure fire for the RIT assignment. Upon arrival to the scene, the crew was reassigned as a truck company and tasked with vertical ventilation. Great job to everyone on scene who worked to get the fire under control.
