The box assignment was sent to Ridley Park for a building fire in the area of Hinkson and Deakyne Streets. Upon arrival of PD they reported the correct address on the 400 block of Deakyne Street and had heavy smoke and fire showing from the rear of the properties. Engine 8 arrived first and found a fully involved large shed with moderate extension to a 15' x 25' garage and dropped the five inch supply from Deakyne and Hinkson to the front of the building. Crews from Engine 8 and Engine 7 stretched dual handlines to begin putting a knock on the fire. Upon arrival of Engine 48, the crew assisted with opening up the involved structures as well as the exposures. The bulk of the fire was knocked down within minutes and the companies began wrapping up a short time later.
