At 17:44 Stations 107(Turkeytown), 17(Smithton), 19(Yukon), 82(West Newton) and Truck 105(Rostraver Central) were activated for an Automatic Fire Alarm at Dicks Sporting Goods Warehouse, 200 Painter Road, South Huntingdon Twp.

As Engine 17 was approaching scene, Capt. 107 received a call from the business stating an auger  inside the building was on fire.  Engine 17 arrived to find a working dumpster fire approx 30 yards away from the business.  Workers were able to use a forklift to push the dumpster away from the dock area but smoke still filled the warehouse forcing Command 107 to request Vent 3(Westmoreland City).

As other units arrived the fire was knocked down and overhaul began.  While crews worked to clear cardboard and debris from the dumpster as all units were released with the exception of 107,17, 19 and Vent 3.

Truck 105 responded to Station 17 for stand-by  until all 17 units returned appox 30 mins later.
