Yesterday we were requested to Glassport to standby as part of their 2nd Alarm assignment for a structure fire. Our engine responded to the scene after a 3rd alarm was struck.

One of our officers was part of an interior crew that was inside on the 2nd floor when a backdraft occurred. We are grateful only minor injuries occurred to the crew and thankful that their training instincts and experience allowed them to stay calm and get out of the building.

These shared videos are from the anxious moments during the backdraft and mayday.

We've had three calls so far today with the most serious coming at 4:40p for a fully involved mini-excavator on Liberty Way in Lincoln. Chief 184 and Engine 184 arrived within minutes of dispatch and the fire was extinguished by our crew. No injuries occurred.

Shortly before 4pm we were requested to assist White Oak Volunteer Fire Department Station 299 and Rainbow Volunteer Fire Company with a large brush fire off Lincoln Way near the Rose restaurant. Both tankers and our UTV responded and assisted on scene with other departments from around the area for several hours.

Like most fire companies in the area we had a very busy day yesterday. Our day started with assisting Glassport with a 2 alarm fire at 11:17am. As we were clearing from there shortly after 2pm, we responded to a broken utility pole and downed wires by our station. About 4 hours later the wind damage really started and we responded to 7 additional calls in our boro related to the winds, including a commercial fire alarm, a brush fire from downed lines, and multiple trees/wires down.

Our Saturday started early at 3:35a with Tanker 1 and 2 responding to Jefferson for a house fire.

Please use caution in the area while the utility companies work and remember to stay away from downed wires.

Our members prepped for the storm yesterday to ensure we are ready to handle the snow.
