At approximately 5:00 PM the Alpha's were dispatched to the 4000 Blk of N Atherton St in the area of Maternville School for a vehicle accident with injuries and fire. Engine 510, 514 and Rescue 518 quickly responded to the incident. Assistant Chief S. Kauffman (504) arrived on scene first and reported 1 vehicle into a tree with no fire.
Engine 514 was assigned as a blocking vehicle to help with traffic control. Engine 510 and Rescue 518 staged near the scene to assist with patient removal, if necessary.
Unfortunately, the occupant of the vehicle was deceased upon arrival of all fire units. The accident is under investigation by Patton Township Police and appears to have been caused by a deer that had been struck by a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction.

| Today the Alpha Fire Co. was kept busy with multiple calls throughout the area. The activity started with a mutual aid call to Port Matilda for a reported building fire. Units arrived on scene to find a small fire in the attic space. The fire was contained and the problem quickly mitigated. While Alpha units were assisting Port Matilda the company was dispatched for a reported building fire in their first due at the National Weather Service on Innovation Blvd. Units there found a small fire outside the building. A few hours later the Alpha's took in a mulch fire in the 400 block of East Beaver Ave, followed by a mutual aid to Huntingdon County for an agricultural fire, sending an engine, truck, and tanker. While units were in Huntingdon County, Port Matilda was dispatched for a brush fire and a tanker from the Alpha's was dispatched to assist. The day culminated around 10:50 PM with an accident with minor injuries on I-99 between the Toftrees exit and the Fox Hollow overpass. Thanks to our mutual aid companies that responded to our district to assist us during our overlapping calls. |

On Thursday, April 2 at 15:00 hours CCECC received a call
reporting a garbage truck on fire near the baseball field in the 1600 block of
Bristol Avenue. Arriving on Engine 510, Chief 502 (Kuchmay) found the load
smoldering deep in the truck. He quickly decided to escort the truck to the
Solid Waste Authority transfer station to minimize risks associated with
dumping the load onto the area surrounding the playing field. Engine 514, PSU
Hazmat Chief 2000 (Gordon), and Alpha Chief 501 (Yocum) were diverted to the
transfer station. The garbage truck arrived at the transfer station with E514
and transfer station equipment positioned and ready. The load was subsequently
dumped and the fire was extinguished. Units returned to service at approximately
16:30 hours.
