On Wednesday February 26th at 1pm, Station 7 was alerted for a brush fire in the 6600 block of Brodbecks Road. Captain 7-1 arrived to a large area of burning brush, woods & marsh that was rapidly spreading, prompting the request for additional resources. LVFD responded with a total of 11 volunteers and paid staff. We would also like to thank our neighboring companies for their teamwork in extinguishing this fire.
