Not a Drill at the Canoe Place |
|
Thursday, 13 May 2010 |
|
The old Canoe Place building has become quite familiar to the firefighters of the Star Hose Company No. 1 over the past month, while one training session after another was held in the building prior to its eventual demolition. Last night the Port Allegany Fire Department was back at the former restaurant and hotel, but this time it was no drill at all. Station 3 and Ambulance 3 were dispatched for a "Possible Structure Fire" at 2241hrs. Chief 320 (T. Roys) arrived on scene immediately after dispatch and reported a working structure fire.
