Walls and ceilings were breached to reach pockets of fire. The truck was secured and returned to the borough after approximately 2 hours on scene.
Tonight Station 57 performed a walk through of new construction being completed in the center of town! Working with the developers to learn new construction materials and layouts is just another part of being able to protect our community to the best we can! Thank you to DGM Management for their hospitality! #theville
