The Porters Community Fire Company is an all volunteer company located in York County, Pennsylvania, in the village of Porters Sideling, and provides coverage to over15 square miles of Heidelberg Township. Heidelberg Township has approximately 3300 residents, and includes parts of Codorus State Park. We provide mutual aid to North Codorus Township, Jackson Township, Codorus Township, Paradise Township, Jefferson Borough, and other local municipalities.
This afternoon at 1229 hours, Station 53 and Rescue 79 ( Hanover Area Fire & Rescue ) along with EMS units from 97-4 ( WellSpan Health ) and 79 were alerted for an accident with entrapment on Amy Way in Box 53-05 of Heidelberg Township. Medic 79 arrived first confirming one person trapped from a construction accident. The York County Advanced Technical Rescue Team was immediately alerted on the assignment. After access and assessment, it was determined that the incident would unfortunately be a recovery operation and ATR units were canceled.
Engine 53-1, Utility 53 and Rescue 79 crews, assisted by two rotator units from Mike's Towing successfully completed recovery operations at 1517.
Northern York County Regional Police and the York County Coroner's Office are investigating.
Friendship Hose Company #1 stood by in their station to handle any additional calls in Station 53's area while our units were committed to this incident.
