While we did not get dispatched for assistance, the Hempfield Township VFD extends its deepest sympathies to the Lakeview Area School District, the family affected and the responders who worked a fire at a Walnut Street home. Sadly, a mother and two juveniles perished, along with family pets, and two others escaped.

ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD DAY 2 - April 10, 2026

Chief Chris Rayburn and Assistant Chief Mike Rayburn remind residents to use EXTREME caution when burning throughout the year, but ask them to REFRAIN from outdoor burning throughout the day Friday, as the combination of marginally dry and breezy conditions will create an elevated risk of wildfire spread across most of Pennsylvania once again today.

Wind gusts will be from the south to southwest between 15 and 25
mph with an occasional 30 mph gusts.

Minimum relative humidity values will be between 25 and 35 percent, and rain is expected to move through northwest PA which may limit those humidity drops to the 40 percent range.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential
ignition sources, such as machinery, ci******es, or matches.
If dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have
the potential to spread rapidly.
