At 1852 hours Ladder 77 was dispatched along with Tower 63, Ladder 54 and Ladder 98 on the second alarm assignment to a working building fire at Carquest Auto Parts at 368 Bridge Street in Phoenixville Borough Chester County. Ladder 77 responded with a crew of six (6).

At 1906 hours Engine 77 was dispatched on the third assignment with Engine 98, Rescue 98.

When 77 units arrived they could not access the scene due to all the 5 inch supply lines, so crews parked the trucks and went to the scene on foot. They remained on location for just over three (3) hours assisting Phoenixville.

A total of six (6) Montgomery County fire stations and two (2) EMS units assisted Phoenixville along with North Penn Goodwill Canteen for food and shelter.
