New Galilee FD Loses Fire Hall in Blaze
I hate to see this, but it has happened again (from Centredaily.com).
NEW GALILEE -- Ten fire companies were battling a blaze that destroyed a Beaver County fire hall and all the fire and ambulance equipment in it.The fire was reported about 4:30 a.m. Thursday at the New Galilee Fire Department, about 35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
The building also houses Northwest EMS, an ambulance service. Firefighters at the scene said at least two fire vehicles and two ambulances in the building are lost.
I'm sure the New Galilee FD would appreciate any donations you could send their way.

When Mitchell arrived at 4:25 a.m., flames were pouring out of the garage doors."It got real hairy in a hurry," he said.
Oxygen tanks on the ambulances exploded, spraying metal shards across the street, assistant fire Chief Dan Jonas said. "It looked like heat lightning in the sky," Jonas said.
