Narrative

Girard Township, PA – Around 1 AM this morning Lake City Fire Company were dispatched to a reported brush fire at the intersection of North Creek Road and West Lake Road. This call came just an hour after crews had been released from the Tannery Road firegrounds. While en route, Lake City crews requested additional support, including a brush truck from A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Co. and manpower from West Ridge Fire Department's Unit 475 (who were on the return from Tannery Road operations).

Upon arrival, crews encountered a large area of active fire, with embers and smoke blowing northward across Route 5. They quickly deployed water to contain and suppress the flames, aiming to prevent further embers from crossing the roadway. After extinguishing the main fire, crews conducted thorough mop-up operations to ensure no hotspots remained. The team remained on scene for approximately one and a half to two hours to fully secure the area.
