Trappe and Lower Providence were dispatched on a mutual aide assignment to Redner's Warehouse Market to assist Collegeville Fire Co. with a building fire. Initial reports indicated that there were wires on fire to the rear of the building and that no fire had spread.
Shortly thereafter, Deputy 34 reported wires burning on the rear of the building and began having Redners evacuated. When Ladder 77 arived and was sent to the rear of the building to check for extension, while Engine 77 was sent to the front of the building to standby and provide additional lighting for crews already on scene.
When PECO arrived the power to Redner's was terminated and crews began checking for additional hotspots.
When the scene was clear and no further extension was found Station 77 was released.
