Our crews worked to assist Station 60 with shuttling roughly 30,000 gallons of water from 12pm until well after midnight. Asst Chief Taylor assisted on the fire ground for more than 14 hours. A long day for all those involved but as always we were happy to assist!

FYI

Just attended the Solar Project safety meeting tonight with the Gasper TWP Fire Department. Below is a picture of the final plans for solar panels. The planning and approval of this project started long before any current Gasper Township Trustees held office and after years of litigation, Tomorrow 5/20/26 is the ground breaking for this project. There will be increased traffic on Gasper Township roads during this project so please drive carefully. Construction is set to last until fall of 2027. Any questions, please give me a call or shoot me an email at [email protected].
