Officers from UPT Police Department arrived to find an attached garage on fire and spreading to the house.

A working fire was added bringing Skippack Fire Company as the RIT and Norriton Fire Engine Company as the cascade along with Friendship Ambulance for rehab.

Ladder 77 arrived and was placed in service with establishing a water supply and fire attack using a blitz line, hand line and our elevated master stream.

Interior crews worked together in attempt to extinguish the quickly spreading fire, but due to intense heat and building conditions, crews had to back out and operate defensive.

The fire was placed under control at 0208 hours.

Trappe Fire Company wants to extend our sympathy to the family on their loss. We are thankful everybody escaped the fire.
