Fire crews were called out to Cherry Tree Borough for a fire that rekindled for a second time over the weekend.
The rekindle was reported Sunday afternoon at 12:50 for a property on Front Street. Cherry Tree Volunteer Fire Department was called out at the time. This was for the house that was destroyed by a fire last Friday morning that brought out 10 fire departments to assist the Cherry Tree fire department. No word yet on the fire’s cause. No one was home at the time of the fire, and no injuries were reported, but a dog was chained outside and was moved away from the scene. The Red Cross is continuing to assist the family. The home was reportedly built in 1869.
Other than that, it was a relatively quiet day for first responders on Sunday. An automatic fire alarm was reported at 2:32 PM for a location on North 5th Street in Indiana Borough. Indiana Fire Company 1 and borough police responded to the scene.
At 3:18 PM, Clyde Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched for a call of a tree down on Reynolds Road in West Wheatfield Township.
