Valentine's Day in the Borough


While Engine 1-2 was operating on a working house fire in Greencastle's first due, the Truck and transfer crews handled three additional calls. The first call was to the Borough Electric Plant on Sheffler Drive. Due to the extremely cold temperatures, units arrived to find carbon monoxide in the building due to a faulty vent system. The building was naturally ventilated, and the scene turned over to workers. The next call was for a gas smell at Fran's Inn which crews determined was an outside smell and notified the Borough Gas Department. Units were then notified of an inside investigation of odor at 167 West King Street. Units arrived on scene to find a fire that had started on the outside of the building and ended up self-extinguishing. Minor overhaul was done, and crews cleared around 9:00 a.m.
