Stations 34, 77 and 53 were dispatched at 15:22 hours for a building fire at 215 East Main Street @ Davinci's Pub, for a mulch fire that extended up the wall. Collegeville police 72-11 (Barnshaw) arrived on scene at 15:25 and found fire extending up a pole and also a porch roof on fire. DC34 upgraded the call (confirmed procedures) which brought E66, R86 as a fast team and Medic 324 with EMS and Rehab. . L77 responded a crew of four and the crew laddered the building and investigated a possible fire in the roof. Crews did overhaul and checked for any extension. Fire was knocked down by water cans and no extension was found into the building. Crews remained on scene for about 2 hours until clearing.

Thanks for Dan "Traffic Dan" Miller and Jeff Wentworth for the pictures.
