At 5:03 p.m., QRS 73 was dispatched to assist Uwchlan Ambulance on a medical emergency in Upper Uwchlan Township. Due to the nature of the call, the fire company was added to assist with the call. Chief 73 was in the area and arrived on scene in a matter of minutes and held the assignment to QRS 73 and Uwchlan Ambulance.

Later that night, at 8:59 p.m., LCFC was dispatched to the 100 block of Krauser Road in Upper Uwchlan Township for an automatic fire alarm. Engine 73-1 and Engine 73-2 went enroute and, while still enroute, LCFC was dispatched for a second call. This time, the company, along with Elverson-Honey Brook Ambulance, was being dispatched for an automobile accident at the intersection of Iron Bridge Road and Warwick Furnace Road in East Nantmeal Township. Shortly after, dispatch reached out to Engine 73-1 and Engine 73-2 about the accident and upgraded it to an entrapment call. Engine 73-1 continued in to handle the fire alarm while Engine 73-2 returned to the station to get the Rescue truck. Chief 73 arrived on-scene to find one vehicle overturned on the bridge with negative entrapment. Rescue 73, Engine 73-1, Engine 73-2, Brush 73, Traffic 73, and QRS all made the response. Crews assisted with hazard control and traffic control until the vehicle could be removed by the tow company. A total of 23 LCFC members responded for these two calls.

Finally, while Chief 73 and Rescue 73 were clearing the auto accident, the company was dispatched for another automatic fire alarm in the 1700 block of East Nantmeal Township. Chief 73 arrived on-scene and advised that no fire services were needed and recalled the assignment. Crews arrived back in-station around 11:00 p.m. and enjoyed a quiet remainder to the night.
