Crews were dispatched tonight to the 1200 Block of Oxford Circle after an alert Upper Gwynedd Police Officer noticed a large amount of smoke coming from the rear of a residence.  Upon investigating, it was determinded that the attached deck on the rear of the property was on fire, being fed by a propane grill.  CH80 arrived on scene, and established command, while E80 arrived and secured the plug in front of the residence.  Crews stretched 2 lines off, with one to the rear and one through the front door after forcible entry was made.  Cres in the rear quickly knocked the fire, and there was no extension into the house.  Crews from 76 & 14 checked the adjoining units for any smoke and heat, and ventilated the fire building.  Unit's were clear within an hour and a half after assisting the Fire Marshall's office with the investigation.

Units on Scene:

Chief 80 (Command)
Engine 80, Tower 80
Squad 14
Engine 76
Rescue 86 (FAST)
M345-2? (EMS)
SS345 (Rehab)
