On Friday afternoon at 13:52 hours, the Christiana Fire Company and mutual aid companies were alerted to 117 Lower Valley Road in Sadsbury Township for a reported industrial building on fire.

Engine 5-2-1 (Reimold) made the response with a crew of five and was advised by the 911 center the caller stated that a diesel shop was on fire. Engine 5-2-1 and Engine 5-1-1 arrived together confirming a working alarm with Engine 5-2-1 stretching the supply line and placing an attack line in service to the rear of the building for fire suppression, while Engine 5-1-1 ran two additional lines. Truck 4-2 went to the roof to check for extension, while remaining fire crews opened up from the ground level.

The Incident was placed under control at 14:17 hours.

Station 5-2 was clear the scene by 15:45 hours.

Captain 5-2-2 (Wallace) operated as the Command for this Incident.
