Box 81 was transmitted at 1504 for a reported structure fire in the 100 blk of Oley Street. Crews arrived on the scene and reported heavy smoke showing from a garage in the rear of 102 Oley Street. An 1 3/4 line was advanced into the garage which was littered with trash. The fire was quickly put under control and turned over to the fire marshall for investigation. E-11, e-3, e-12, e-1(safety co.), lad-1, tower-1, res-1, c-1, c-6, c-10, c-22, amb. 603, times were 1504 to 1553.

About 20 minutes later, box 85 was dispatched at 1617 for a reported structure fire at 820 Pear Street, with possible entrapment. Arriving units reported smoke pushing out the 3rd floor window. Crews went into service with a 1 3/4 line. The fire, located in a 3rd floor front bedroom, consumed a box spring and mattress and the contents of the room but was easily knocked down. Meanwhile, other firefighters searching the dwelling found no signs of occupants. Crews on the outside laddered the building and used a ppv to ventilate the smoke.
