Fire Station, Truck Destroyed
The Eldred Township Fire Department sub station on Route 446, and the truck it housed, were destroyed during a fire that started at about 1:15 this morning.
Fire Chief Dave Crowe tells WESB and The HERO a state police fire marshal is on the scene (as of 1:45 p.m.) to determine the cause of the blaze.
Crowe says during the investigation, the fire marshal will be checking to see if this fire is related to others in the township and borough.
Eldred Township firefighters were on the scene until 1:45 this afternoon boarding up the building and securing the scene.
Other fire departments that helped them battle the blaze were Eldred Borough, Star Hose Company of Port Allegany and Otto Township. Portville, New York, firefighters were on standby at the Eldred Borough station.
Crowe says an insurance adjuster will be on the scene soon and they'll "go from there" as far as getting another truck.
The department has an engine tanker so they're "still pretty good," Crowe says.
