Parks Twp., PA - At 12:49 A.M. on February 7th, several companies were dispatched to a residential structure fire at 1138 Washington Street in Parks Township. Crews arrived to find 20-foot high flames shooting through several windows and the front garage door. As crews started to fight the blaze, tankers were called in due to an insufficient amount of nearby hydrants. Once a more ample water supply was established, firefighters had the bulk of the fire knocked down, but found extensions in the walls and eaves. The fire, which was believed to have started in a wood burner, kept firefighters on scene for several hours.
