MONACA, Pa. (Wednesday, Sept. 3) — Firefighters from Bridgewater, Monaca and Rochester departments spent more than four hours Wednesday evening dismantling a search-and-rescue maze used for training.
Crews worked together for about 4.5 hours to complete the teardown, officials said, noting the project showed how mutual aid extends beyond fire calls and emergencies.
