On July 16, Chief Chris Uhrin received recognition from the Justus Volunteer Fire Company following a thank-you from Keystone Propane for his actions during a tractor-trailer fire earlier this year.

On March 16, Uhrin found a tractor-trailer fire on Interstate 81 involving a propane transport hauling roughly 9,500 gallons of liquid propane while returning from a maintenance trip. He and the driver arrived ahead of other rescuers, used a handline, and put out a fire affecting the rear axle of the trailer.

Keystone Propane supported the fire department's volunteer members by giving $3,000 and 20 bottles of bottled water as a token of gratitude.
