Fire
Fire on E Baldwin St / 6th Street this morning.
Hope no one is hurt. Could see the flames coming thru the center of the house.
Fire trucks slow in getting there.
Bernie The photos looked bad. I hope everyone is OK as well. Terrible situation.
Bernie is that hearsay or do you know the exact time of the 911 call and the time of first arrival of the responding units? According to the first responder website the call was recorded at 10:55AM. With that said I'm sure it seemed like a long time for help to arrive even if it was just a few minutes.
Greg Greg: What site are you looking at?
I pulled out of the driveway at 10:50, saw the flames coming out of the center of the house and passed the fire station by the tracks. Nothing was happening at that point. Perhaps just missed them.
That being said, just hope no one was hurt.
A fire is a miserable feeling. I know first handed.
Wow. What a shame for sure. I too endured a house fire. Awful indeed.

According to dispatch 78 Fire had to request additional area departments to respond as well. Mansfield, Washington Borough and Independence were alerted at 11:02.

According to initial tone out for Fire and EMS, Bernie had already left the premise seven minutes earlier,
Kid The Bernie,
you really shouldn’t be saying fire trucks slow getting there, when you aren’t a first responder going to the call. It came across the scanner at 10:55am then over the scanner the chief confirmed a working structure fire at 10:57am. Yes, it does take a couple minutes for firemen to respond to the firehouse to get a truck and crew and head out. If they all responded with their own personal vehicle and no fire trucks, the fire would keep on raging out of control.
If you saw any of what was happening at the scene, you would see that all the responding departments did a great job on saving a lot of that house.
Maybe you shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions when you were just seeing smoke and flames from your house.
And no one was hurt, they all made it out safely.
GripitBernie,
So you saw your neighbors house on fire and just left? You didn’t think to try to help maybe make sure they were out of the house? Then you have the nerve to say the fire department took along time getting there. Like c’mon now I can assure you that the trucks were responding within minutes of the call going out.
Maybe Bernie should have called 911 when he saw it. Maybe he was the first to see the flames?
No, when I saw it the police were already there and blocking off the streets.
The people all were out of the house and no one was hurt. For that, we can be thankful. A house can be replaced.
Also a big thank you for the responders that came.
I was going through the neighborhood and saw all the fire trucks, police ambulances, everyone was working so hard. Such a scary sight. It takes a special person to do this for the community. Whether you volunteer or not, to all the fire fighters and police thank you.
Acl76 Bernie, first responders, firemen, police are all out to help. It does no one any good to speculate the time the call went in and how fast they got there. Calls go on, people are notified, they do have to get there, suit up, drive, etc. ARE you a firemen? You'd make an awful one since you said you left the house when you saw the house on fire. You pulled out of the driveway as it was burning. Nice neighbor! A regular Mr. Rogers.
Does anyone know if anything has been set up to help the family........
I would imagine that even though the fire department saved a good part of the house, they may still be in need of help.......
horrible to loose your home, but around this time of the year my heart just breaks for them.
littlelu littlelu-
your best bet for the donations, etc., May be calling the police department or town hall tomorrow when they are open. Maybe see if they are accepting things for the family to start helping out.
The daughter of the folks living there has started a Go Fund Me account for those interested.
