Video below by newsworking. Around 10:15AM, Bethlehem City Fire was dispatched to 3681 Township Line Road in the far north section of the city. Engines 5, 7, 6 and Ladder 2 responded.
Crews found fire in the cockloft of a 3-story Occupied Multiple Dwelling and stretched two hand lines to the interior. On the 3rd floor, members were confronted with dry wall falling from the cathedral ceiling. Command eventually backed out the members and went to a defensive attack.
The 2nd alarm was transmitted and Engines 9, 1, 3 and ladder 1 responded.
The ladder pipe from Ladder 2 was in-service along with a ground monitor. Ladder 1’s pipe was put into service on the north side of the building. A good portion of the roof was burned off.
