Mount Laurel Motel Fire 9-15-2020 Hazle Township, PA

[nozzleman]

Between 5:45 am and 6:30 am on Tuesday, 15-September-2020 the Hazle Township and Harwood Fire Company were tone out for a commercial structure fire at the Mount Laurel Motel on Route 309 just outside of the City of Hazleton.

Engine 141-2 was the first on the scene and called for additional Tankers since the closest Hydrant was over 2000 feet. The fire was limited one room and was out within 5 minutes of the first arriving company. When I got to the scene 10 to 15 minutes after they arrived they had the fire out and were doing overhaul.



The rigs out on Route 309 when I arrived on the scene. Trescrow, Hazle Township Tanker 106, Harwood Fire Company Tanker 241, and Harwood Fire Company Engine 241-1 Parked on the shoulder of Route 309.

More Pictures from the fire. 

I saw the way the helmet and mask were set up and could not resist.

Great shots! It's amazing how converting to B&W changes the whole character of an image

Thank's Ed. I have always loved working with black and white. I am now a stringer for the local newspaper, the Hazleton Standard Speaker and I love it when I take the pictures out of the paper and they are in black and white, but it drives me nuts when they are in color on the online version of the paper,
