Thank you all who braved the weather and attended our car show today. Unfortunely, this was the first time in 14 years that we had heavy pockets of rain. We missed seeing a lot of our regulars, but it was completely understandable with the weather. Also thanks to the sponsors and volunteers that worked the event as well. We look forward to seeing everyone next year at our 15th.

Yesterday we were requested to Glassport to standby as part of their 2nd Alarm assignment for a structure fire. Our engine responded to the scene after a 3rd alarm was struck.

One of our officers was part of an interior crew that was inside on the 2nd floor when a backdraft occurred. We are grateful only minor injuries occurred to the crew and thankful that their training instincts and experience allowed them to stay calm and get out of the building.

These shared videos are from the anxious moments during the backdraft and mayday.
