Area firefighters had a busy night battling structure fires.
The action included a house fire in Sagamore reported at about 10:30 PM. Rural Valley firefighters report flames were coming from the rear of the single-family home along Sagamore Road when they arrived. Firefighters from Dayton, Kittanning, Elderton, Plumville, Marion Center, and Perry Township – from Jefferson County – were dispatched to help battle the flames. Electric company workers were summoned to cut the power to a utility line that was downed. Most of the fire was extinguished from the outside, and interior crews then went inside and extinguished hot spots in the walls and attic.
Crews were on the scene until shortly before midnight.
Shortly before 3 o’clock this morning, Dayton, Plumville, Rural Valley, Perry Township, and Marion Center firefighters were back in action, this time at a garage fire along the Dayton/Smicksburg Road in West Mahoning Township. Firefighters battled frigid weather and a lack of water as well, with tankers hooking up to hydrants at the Dayton Fairgrounds and as far away as West Shamokin High School.
