Last evening, the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to the 200 block of West Main Street for a reported structure fire with possible entrapment. County advised multiple calls were received and PD has a column. Chief 88-1 arrived on scene with a 2 story duplex, fire showing on second floor. The box was upgraded due to outside temperatures and the address was updated to the 400 block of Apple Ave. Engine 88 split laid from Main/Apple to the scene while Engine 54 completed the lay to the hydrant. Engine 88 crews split between search/rescue and extinguishment. Rescue 88 arrived securing a second hydrant at Wood/Selma. Rescue 88 crews assisted with interior operations and roof ventilation. All searches turn up negative. Command marked control approximately 45 minutes into the incident and Red Cross was notified for the victims. Engine 88 and Truck 50 remained on scene with fire investigators.
