Battalion 4 ordered Engine 11 to the rear and Engine 14 to the front. Engine 14 arrived and signaled a working fire to the rear of the row involving at least 3 homes. Engine 11 arrived to the rear and found power lines down to 3 or 4 homes. Chief Hess requested PPL utilities respond forthwith. Heavy fire was consuming at least 5 homes by now. Companies lead off with large lines and blitz lines.
