Indiana County’s first responders were active yesterday with multiple calls for service, including what was initially thought to be the 28th brushfire of the year.
The call came in just after 7:30 yesterday morning for a location on Route 119 North in Center Township, behind A&G Auto Parts. Fire crews said that it turned out to be a controlled burn, and they told the resident that the fire had to be put out due to an ongoing burn ban in Center Township. The fire company’s request was carried out as the resident used dirt to smother the fire. No major damage was reported.
A vehicle fire was also reported yesterday along Decker’s Point Road in East Mahoning Township at 2:35 pm. Marion Center and Clymer Fire departments were dispatched. No details on that incident have been released.
Other calls included two for utility lines down. The first was reported at 12:50 pm on Sportman Road in Conemaugh Township, and the second was at 1:25 pm for Cooper Avenue in Homer City Borough.
