Called in by Batt65(Meadows), from station 65. Reporting smoke showing from a 3 story apartment building, directly behind Station 65. Few minutes later, upgraded to the working fire dispatch, reporting heavy smoke #3 floor, possible "apartment off". 2nd and 3rd alarms struck. Crews made an aggresive interior attack, but fire started running the walls, and got into the attic. Building was evacuated, and 4 aerials in operation (1 tower ladder, and 3 sticks), along with several large caliber handlines. Crews checked the exposure structures, and found minimal extension into the roof/attic of an adjoining building. Alot of hose, but all went extremely well! Could have been worse. Pics and story are up on www.Malvernfireco.comNBC10 also has some great shots from the helo. Pump, you can pull the pics off of the website and post story on main page.

There is also a short video on Chesterfire.com. Latest Incidents, then the Phoneixville 3 alarmer. Pretty decent video just after they evacuated the building.
