Stay safe!

A flood threat is under close watch for Pittsburgh and the I-70 corridor. This is due to heavy morning rain, which dropped almost an inch in Washington County, and the expectation of more showers and storms advancing from the west this afternoon and evening.

During the storm, the station remained staffed like usual, responding to 7 calls of service, we would like to thank the road department for keeping the roads clean, our members who staffed, and the people from
the community who brought us food.

While the station remains staffed during the winter storm, we would like to make sure our residents are clearing 3 foot areas on all sides of their fire hydrants. In case of a fire emergency, our crews need to be able to access a water supply quickly. Stay safe!

With the winter weather this weekend, we recommend everyone stays off the road until cleared by our public works department. The department will continue to be staffed throughout the storm. All emergencies will be handled safely and efficiently. Please make sure to clear snow from fire hydrants and house ventilators. Stay safe!
