Early Morning Dwelling Fire

In the early morning hours of Halloween The Kennett Fire Company was dispatched for an electrical fire in the 200 block of E. Linden Street in Kennett Square Borough. Engine 24-1 responded and arrived on scene to find an electrical fire in the second floor ceiling with extension into the third floor. As crews investigated they discovered a heavy smoke condition on the third floor of the residence and the assignment was upgraded to a dwelling response adding units from Avondale, Longwood, and Po-Mar-Lin Fire Companies. The fire was placed under control approximately 30 minutes after the initial dispatch.
