With a large smoke column of smoke rising from the cities northeast, communications began receiving multiple phone calls reporing a large fire to the rear of 1415 Rockland St. Albright security guards began calling, also stating that a building was on fire north of the campus. Engine 9 arrived and found a large pile of leaves, trees, and brush were lit at the rear of the property at an entrance to a field. Units worked the fire for nearly an hour, using detergent foam to penetrate the deep seated fire. Car 5 held the fire with 2 Engines & Ladder 3.
