Last night at 1824 a garage fire was dispatched in our first due. Soon after upgraded to a working fire and tanker task force. Frigid single digit temperatures presented their own challenges on scene causing significant ice.

We thank our neighboring fire companies for a timely response to assist. A thank you to those departments on scene, EMS, Fire Police, PennDot, and PPL. Your sacrifices to the community are never unnoticed.

A thank you to the Kramer Family, who provided hot coffee and water to those on scene.

Our thoughts are with the injured individual and the family on the loss of their property.
