This afternoon as Assistant Chief Yocum (501) was returning home from work he came across a working pickup truck fire on I-99. 501 advised the 911 center of his findings and immediately assumed I-99 command.
Engine 510, 514, and Rescue 518 responded on the call. Engine 514 arrived first and found a fully involved pickup truck. The crew stretched a 1 3/4" handline from the front bumper for extinguishment. Once Engine 510 arrived their crew assisted 514's crew with final extinguishment and minor overhaul.
Once most of the fire was out, 1 lane of I-99 was opened for traffic.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police.

At approximately 0815 hrs this morning, the Alpha Fire Company was

Shortly before 5:00 AM the company was dispatched for a building fire at 240 S. Pugh St. in the Borough of State College. Callers from the facility were advising of a smoke condition on the 6th floor. State College Police arrived on scene at the Days Inn and advised of smoke condition on the 6th floor with no signs of heat or fire. Assistant Chief N. Kuchmay (502) arrived on scene and assumed Pugh St. command.
Command and PD found the cause to be a burned up motor on the roof of structure and command held the box to Engine 514 and Truck 517. Crews investigated the area around the motor checking for extension and found nothing. Crews then assisted with ventilation of the structure.
