| Between approximately 330 pm and 1130 pm, we responded to 27 incidents. These ranged from multiple trees in wires, multiple trees blocking the roadway, 2 brush fire calls with structures endangered, and a structure fire in which we were cancelled enroute.
These calls were handled quickly and efficiently by 18 staff members, utilizing Engine 12, Brush 12, Rescue 12 and both Command vehicles.
Thank you to Connoquenessing Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania road department, and all three supervisors with the assists on removing trees and closing roads throughout the Township.
Please keep Onieda Valley VFC firefighter King in your prayers as he recovers from major injuries sustained while working through the storm. And for the love of all things holy, when you see emergency lights, please slow down, yield when safe, and be very aware of emergency crews operating in the scene.
