| Around 2:30PM Company 5 was dispatched to McCormick Avenue for a
working vehicle fire. Engine 510 immediately responded to the scene.
Assistant Chief 504 (Kuchmay) arrived on scene first and confirmed a
vehicle fire with fire in the engine compartment. 510 arrived directly
after the chief and began going to work. Two members began to stretch
the trash line off the front bumper and two other members began to
access the fire. Once the crew had all of their protective equipment
in place they began to put a knock on the fire. Rescue 518 then
arrived on the scene but since most of the fire was already out, their
crew was released from the scene. The engine crew continued to hit hot
spots and was released from the scene after operating for approximately
twenty minutes. Alpha Fire Police maintained scene control. |

Assistant Chief DeArmitt was requested to the scene, 131 S. Fraser St. Upon his arrival he requested Rescue 518 to the scene. State College Police were actively investigating a suspicious package in the area of the Fraser St. parking garage, the package appeared to be a bomb and was being treated as such.
The Pennsylvania State Police Hazardous Device Team was requested from Hershey and upon their arrival they investigated and destroyed the package. It was later determined that the package posed no threat to the community and was actually a school project that a student had forgotten and left behind.
The area around the parking garage was evacuated and closed for approximately 3 hours.
