Newberry, PA, Oct 12: The Newberry Township Fire Department hosted its first-ever open house event, inviting community members and families to participate and learn. Participant activities included music, pumpkin painting, trunk-or-treat, and unofficial tours of the station's grounds. The department admitted that there was a brief disruption at the beginning of the event due to an emergency call, and they noted that some kids might not have had a chance to see the equipment up close during that time. The evening went well in spite of the early interruption, giving the public a chance to visit the station, interact with staff, and take part in a community-focused event.
