Carlisle Township Officials from the Carlisle Township Fire Department say that when they arrived to the home on Edgehill Drive Friday afternoon they found a “blowing torch-like flame” shooting against the wood framed home.

A lightening strike to a gas meter, located against the front of the home, punctured the natural gas line. Firefighters contacted Columbia Gas to come to the scene to shut off the gas line.

Not sure if anyone was in the home, Firefighters did a primary search finding the house empty. It was discovered though that the fire had extended from the outside of the home to the soffet and into the attic. Firefighters had to pull down ceiling to get to the body of the fire in the attic.

Oberlin Firefighters ventilated the roof and assisted in an interior attack and overhaul. Other departments providing Mutual Aid assistance were LaGrange Township, Eaton Township, Wellington and South Amherst.

LOVE THE PICTURES.... WONDER IF ANY OF THOSE FIREFIGHTERS WILL BE REPRIMANDED FOR "NOT" WEARING ALL OF THEIR PROTECTIVE GEAR ie: GLOVES, FACE PIECE, and THE RED HELMET THAT SEEMS TO FEEL THAT HE DOESNT NEED EITHER OR, WHILE HANDLING THE HOSE?


Comments:

he is outside why does he need to wear a mask and a tank? they only guy that needs something said to him is the one on the roof venting no gloves. let me guess your a 36 or maybe a 120 that really doesnt understand fire cuz the lt is outside putting out possible hotspots. if your going to be like that then every ff on the scene should wear the mask from the time the step off the truck to the time they step back on . go back to rolling your hose and wearing your "i'm a firefighter t-shirt"and be quiet.
