Engine 3 oversaw traffic control along Route 30 to protect drivers and construction workers, while Rescue 2 was stationed to bar access from Wendel Road. To make sure there had been no flooding, firefighters checked the businesses in the area. All fire units left the scene as soon as PennDOT arrived to take over the traffic detail and start road repair work.
