PARKSIDE, PA -- At approximately 0200hrs companies 45(Parkside), 57(Upland), 65(Garden City), 63 and RIT 43
(Holmes) were dispatched to 11 Park Vallei Lane for a building fire. The Police, followed shortly there after by
Parkside Deputy Chief John Albany (459A) arrived and confirmed a working fire. Tac-45 arrived first and put a
line in service. Ladder 65 (Garden City) and Rescue 63 arrived almost simultaneously. At this time, Deputy
Chief Albany immediately advised the crews from Garden City and Green Ridge of a collapse with firefighters
trapped. D/C Albany requested the second alarm assignment be dispatched. Crews on the scene worked feverously under heavy fire conditions to locate and extricate the trapped firefighters. FF Brian Harris Sr. immediately assisted the operator from Tac 45 in securing a water supply. Conditions continued to deteriorate. Under the command of FF Dave Evans Jr. the crew from Rescue 63 entered an exposure to gain quicker access to side "C" of the fire building. Firefighters Evans Jr.,Thomas Morgan Jr. and Matt Didmenico (45) entered the fire building and quickly located and freed one of the trapped firefighters from side “C” to awaiting EMS. At this point FF Jack McPartland pulled a second handline and continued fire surpression on the “A” side. Firefighters Dave Evans Jr., Thomas Morgan Jr. came back to side “A” to assist firefighters Jim Ayers Sr., Jim Ayers Jr., Andrew Plotts, and Jim Carr III along with members of Ladder 65 and RIT43 worked to move a tremendous amount of debris from the collapse in an effort to find the second trapped firefighter. Crews gave it their all – in many cases working on their knees moving debris with their hands. Seconds turned into minutes as crews miraculously located the second downed firefighter. He was extricated through the front door and was met by awaiting EMS crews.
