| Limerick Fire Crews were kept busy throughout the very hot half of the week, into a stormy and chilly end of the week. Starting the week off on Sunday, May 17, with a vehicle accident on Game Farm Rd, a reported vehicle fire on Abbey Dr, a fire alarm, and another evening accident with a vehicle into a pole. And that was only Sunday.
Monday, May 18, brought heat and a full afternoon for crews, consisting of three vehicle accidents and a baby deer rescue. The third accident was a school bus into a pole, with the transformer landing on top of the bus. The driver was transported for minor injuries, and no children were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Tuesday, May 19, saw a fire alarm, a vehicle accident, and a motorcycle crash.
Wednesday, May 20, the busiest day of the week, saw a mulch fire at Sheetz in the early afternoon, followed by about 16 storm-related calls as the storm passed through the township.
On Thursday, May 21, the weather was cooler, but that didn't slow down the calls. Three calls consisted of an EMS assist, a greenhouse fire in the evening in Upper Providence at Wojton's Nursery, and a vehicle accident.
Friday, May 22, had a gas odor at Erin's Salon and a building fire assist at the Valley View Apartments in North Coventry.
