On January 24, 2023 the WBFD was dispatched as automatic aid to assist the Robesonia Fire Department, Sta 26 with a residential structure fire in the 1st Block of S Wayne St in Robesonia Borough. Initial arriving crews found a fire located on the first floor, on the exterior of the home rapidly progressing towards the roof line. Personnel from WBFD and Womelsdorf Volunteer Fire Company 47 / Fire Co. Ladies Auxiliary were assigned to check for extension on the first floor, by using hand tools to remove drywall and insulation, assuring that no hidden fire remained.
