The two fire departments in Vandergrift are not responding to emergencies right now because firefighters are not currently covered by worker’s comp.
Mayor Lenny Collini says borough officials noticed there was a lapse in coverage for volunteers on Friday, meaning firefighters would not get any support if they were injured while on duty. The mayor expects the coverage to resume this week, but it is not yet clear when that will happen.
Fire companies from surrounding communities are taking calls in Vandergrift for right now.
