was caused by a tornado.

of the tornado after further review of the damage.

Tonight prior to the fireworks in Wrightsville borough a storm passed through the area causing damage to structures and infrastructure. Hellam Fire Company and Wrightsville Fire responded to numerous calls for service while working with mutual aid to continue coverage for the fireworks. Chief 41 activated the emergency operations center to support the response efforts. EMA split duties between the EMC and deputy to support both operations. The teamwork demonstrated to protect the citizens affected by the storm and those attending the fireworks was seamless.
