Skippack Fire Company was dispatched on three calls for service Monday. Crews were first dispatched to a working fire in the 400 block of Hollow Road in Upper Providence Township at 11:21. Chief and Tanker 86 responded on the box. Tanker 86 set up a drafting operation and provided water to the scene. Crews also assisted with overhaul before returning to the station. This was the sixth confirmed structure fire box crews have been dispatched to in the last nine days.

At 14:30 Engine 86 responded to an automatic fire alarm in the 2200 block of Cooper Drive. Upon investigation the alarm was determined to be a false trip. At 17:29 Chief and Rescue 86 responded to a motor vehicle accident in the 1200 block of Stump Hall Road.
