December 6, 2025 — Fire and EMS units were dispatched to the 500 block of Church Street in Danville for a reported structure fire, prompting a multi-agency response from across Montour County and surrounding areas.

Chief 40 and Frank 2 also responded to the scene.
Upon arrival, Chief 20 reported nothing showing, and Chief 40 subsequently confirmed conditions on scene. Engines established water supply, with Engine 43 staged at a hydrant directly in front of the structure and Engine 33 securing a hydrant at Church Street and Lower Mulberry Street.
