2-ALARM BLAZE GUTS MULTIPLE
APARTMENTS IN HORSHAM TOWNSHIP
(12/12/07 - Horsham
Township)
- A dog was the lone
casualty after a mid-afternoon blaze destroyed 5 units at the
English Village Apartment complex. The dog was found
amidst the ruins of the apartments in Building 13.
The first call went
out at about 1:00pm after fire broke out in apartment B-1,
quickly spreading and causing severe damage to 5 apartments
while rendering a total of 11 uninhabitable.
FDMT was first on
the scene with Deputy 18 Chris Mann taking command as other
units from Horsham, Hatboro, and Wissahickon rolled in.
Firefighters quickly went to work opening up the building and
putting handlines in place to stop the fire from spreading to
the other half of the building.
 The cause of the
fire remains undetermined, but investigators are looking at
electrical components near the range in the kitchen of apartment
B-1.
