Multiple fire crews are in the Shelocta area this morning for a reported structure fire.
Indiana County 911 sent the Elderton, Indiana, Iselin/West Lebanon, and Creekside fire departments, the HAZMAT team and Citizens’ Ambulance out at 5:11 this morning to a location on McCreight Road in Armstrong Township. Initial reports say that that the fire was in a storage shed, and at this point, it is destroyed and smoldering on the ground.
This call came after a very busy day for first responders on Sunday that included eight calls for utility lines down between 4:31 and 7:58 PM in areas of Conemaugh, East Wheatfield, West Wheatfield, Young and White Townships and an area just over the Westmoreland County Border in Saltsburg.
Four vehicle accidents were also reported yesterday, with the first one at 3:25 PM on West Pike Road in Armstrong Township. The second was eight minutes later on Route 119 South in Burrell Township. The third was on a different stretch of 119 in Center Township at 4:56, and the final one was on Route 286 East in Montgomery Township. Details on the accidents have not been released.
