Beaver Falls, PA - On 21 February 2026, Crews responded to an automatic fire alarm at Beaver County Christian School, which was traced to a burned HVAC unit on the roof. Shortly thereafter, members provided a safety stand-by in Bridgewater for the 13th annual Special Olympics Polar Plunge.


Immediately after returning from the event, Engine 11, Tower 11, and the chief responded to an outside fire at Pizza Hut. The fire had extended into the roof area, but initial arriving crews quickly brought it under control, preventing further spread. Units returned to service a short time later.


Later in the day, the engine and tower responded to another fire alarm at Pearce Hall on the Geneva College campus, which was determined to be the result of a small cooking fire. These responses occurred alongside several additional EMS incidents handled throughout the day.
