The Fire Marshall is investigating a fire at a home on Highland Avenue in Kutztown Friday morning, April 6.
At approximately 10:20 a.m. on April 6, Kutztown Fire Department Station 46 was dispatched to a report of a structure fire on Highland Avenue on the North side of Kutztown. The first to arrive on location confirmed a working basement fire, according to a Kutztown Fire Company Facebook posting.
“Ladder 46 arrived moments later and dropped a line at the hydrant and went in service with a 1 3/4″ line. Interior crews were able to get a knock on the fire and were able to contain the bulk of the fire to the basement.”
The fire is currently under investigation by the Fire Marshall.
“This fire also marked a momentous occasion marking the first fire our new Ladder 46 was on in the Borough of Kutztown.”
There were no injuries reported.
