Making the lip on the trench safe and placing/moving ladders are key tasks that members of first-arriving companies can assist with under the guidance of a technical rescue team member. This safely engages the first-arriving companies and frees up technical rescue team members for more technical tasks.

The Northampton Fire Department responded to a call for a fire at a garage that was attached to a dwelling. First-arriving units found the garage and most of the 2½-story house well involved. The operation was defensive from the start. Shortly after that order was given, the roof and second floor collapsed. Firefighters encountered a heavy fire load amid temperatures that were in the low teens. Mutual aid from departments from the municipalities of Easton, Nazareth, Palmer, Tatamy and Wilson responded.
