SUV Hits House In The Ranch
Monday, January 4, 2010
-
@ 1254 hours, Rescue 11 was requested by the Muhlenberg Police to assist with stabilization from a car into the house at 513 El Hatco Dr in the Cherokee Ranch section of our Township. Rescue 11 arrived and found a large SUV that drove through the rear wall right at the B & C corner. It entered a bedroom. Luckily NO ONE was injured in the accident. The house was severely damaged. We quickly worked to make sure all utilities were controlled. We cleared out some of the debris in the bedroom and placed a ParaTech shoring device in service. Weavers was able to start the car and drive it back out of the house causing no further damage. There was no further fire services needed. We left our shoring equipment on the scene until Berks Fire & Water arrived and took over the scene.
