The warm, dry weather over the last few days has made conditions ripe for brush fires as two more were reported yesterday. One fire was in Indiana County and the other was in Armstrong County.
The first was reported at 12:51 PM at a location on Jefferson Street in Glen Campbell Borough. Indiana County 911 dispatched Glenn Campbell, Rossiter, Cherry Tree, Big Run, Burnside, Mahaffey, Clearfield Park, Community and Spangler fire departments to the scene along with state department of forestry crews. No word on how the fire started or how much damage was done. This marks the 62nd brush fire reported in Indiana County this year.
Four minutes later, crews from Iselin-West Lebanon, Coal Run-McIntyre, Indiana and Creekside fire departments were called out for a brush fire on Barrell Valley Road in South Bend Township in nearby Armstrong County. Indiana and Creekside fire departments would be called back to the scene at 5:00 last night.
