By now many of you have heard about the barn fires that occurred on Thursday in Harlem Township. The fires are of great concern to all of the surrounding departments, local law enforcement and the State Fire Marshal. While all three remain under investigation, one of the fires has been ruled ARSON. The fires are threatening the very lively hood of many of our neighbors and friends that rely on farming as a way of life, not to mention the risk that emergency responders face while responding to these types of incidents.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Division of State Fire Marshal at 1-800-589-2728, Harlem Township Fire Department 740.965.2661 or BST&G Fire District at 740.965.3841.
