Last night WBFD crews participated in a joint Ice Rescue training with Shillington Fire Company. Crews took advantage of the recent cold spell to brush up on technical skills used in Ice Rescue incidents. These types of incidents are low frequency but high risk for our first responders due to the harsh conditions crews work through. Both the WBFD and Shillington Fire Company are equipped to handle Water and Ice Rescue incidents. #teamWBFD ... See MoreSee Less

Today at approximately 8:32am, the WBFD and our automatic aid partners were dispatched to the 100 Block of Butternut Court in South Heidelberg Township for a structure fire. Crews arrived to find a 40x60 outbuilding with fire and smoke showing. Multiple hand lines were stretched to contain the fire and suppress it, as well as to protect neighboring structures that were in immediate danger. The fire is currently being investigated by the PA State Police Fire Marshal.
