At 08:01, township fire companies were dispatched to Maple Drive in Silver Spring Township for a reported shed fire. Engine 33, staffed with four firefighters, and Tanker 33 responded immediately.
Engine 31 arrived at 08:03 and confirmed an active fire at the scene. Engine 33 laid a five-inch supply line from a nearby hydrant, with Tanker 33 assisting in establishing the water supply. Due to concerns about possible fire extension, command requested a first alarm residential response.
Fire control was achieved at 08:16, and crews remained on scene for overhaul and investigation until 09:51. Landisburg Engine 4 was transferred to Station 33 to maintain coverage during the incident.
