Box 87-11T was dispatched for a possible dwelling fire on Graber Road on the border between Upper Hanover and Marlborough Township.  Initial units were 71, 42, L65, Bucks T75 and Bucks T58.  While enroute, county advised Chief 42 that this was in Marlborough and it was his call.  CH42 arrived and found a working fire in the garage area.  Squrt 71 arrived first and crews went in service with 1-3/4" lines to the garage.  L65 arrived and were given orders to ventilate and ladder the building.  After assisting Sqt 71 crews with the hoseling, crews from L65 vented and searched both floors and went to the roof and ventilated. CH42 added the Tanker Strike Force as well as additional units.  E65 was assigned as the source truck at 3rd and Main but were redirected into the scene for manpower.  Crews worked for about 45 minutes to gain control of the fire.  The most damage was contained to the garage area with little extension into the dwelling. The fire was under control in about an hour and crews worked for another hour doing overhaul and salvage.  Bucks R56 and E17 stood by for 65 and ran an accident cover in Red Hill.  Fire Police assisted on Graber directing traffic around the scene.
