Conneaut Township, PA – This afternoon, shortly after 2:30 PM, fire and EMS personnel from the Cranesville Fire Department were dispatched to a reported vehicle fire with burn victims near 14400 Route 226. West County 110 was initially dispatched for ambulance services, responding from St. Vincent. Due to the severity of the incident, Chief 600 requested STAT MedEvac to be placed on standby. Dispatch later advised Chief 600 that STAT MedEvac had an estimated arrival time of 32 minutes.

With West County 110 potentially delayed by up to 30 minutes, Chief 600 requested an ALS transport unit from Conneaut, Ohio, to respond to the scene. As Conneaut was expected to arrive first, West County 110 was released from service. STAT MedEvac was also later placed back in service.

Cranesville’s 617 was the first to arrive, finding a single vehicle fully engulfed in flames. Engine 602 arrived moments later, and the fire was brought under control within three minutes of Engine 602’s arrival.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. Pennsylvania State Police were also on the scene.
