Firefighters battle cold, lack of rest

They fight barn, house fires in 12-hour period

By Rob Scott
The Daily Item

The building contained three apartments, one of which the owner lived in. The deputy chief did not know whether the other apartments were occupied.

There were no injuries at either fire, although Walter said there was “a lot of slipping and falling” due to the icy conditions.

“It’s hard on equipment and manpower when you’ve got the temperatures we’ve had, and it was snowing on and off,” he said.

Walter and Mifflinburg Chief John Heiges praised the members of the fire company for turning out in large numbers for both fires — 37 at the first, 44 at the second.

Heiges was especially impressed at the effort his crew put in at the Chestnut Street blaze.

“If these guys would have gave up today and got tired, just for five minutes, the house would have burned down,” Heiges said.

New Berlin, William Cameron, White Deer Township, Milton and Penns Creek fire companies also responded to the fires.
