At 1113 hours, Truck 27 was alerted to assist Franklin County, Company 3, Greencastle with a working house fire.  The crew of Truck 27 arrived and worked in the living room and kitchen areas to extinguish the fire.  The crew moved on to perform ventilation on the exterior of the house to prevent the fire from spreading further.  After roof conditions worsened, the crew moved back to the interior of the house.  Firefighters were pulled out of the structure prior to extinguishment. 

Longmeadow was alerted for a rekindle at this location but was cancelled enroute.
