Around 1140 pm I recieved a pounding on my residence door by a friend from Barclay mtn.who announced that we had a fully envolved structure fire 3 doors up from my home on the southside road in Franklin township I grabbed my fire radio and called it in to the Bradford county communications center and had it dispatched as such with Franklin Twp-Canton-Monroeton and Towanda fire depts.sending engines or tankers.and towanda memorial ambulance personel. a quick knockdown of what was left by those involved In this case a smoke detector going off awakined the person involved,upon his checking outside his bedroom door he found his only avenue of escape was his bedroom window and he did so after putting his dog and cat out.all depts. were back in service by 3am Upon investigation it was determined to be of an electrical malfunction in a porch switch that had been faulty and sparking for a while. A big thank you to our mutual aid company's involved as well as mem ems
This was a prime example for wnep smoke detectors give away program.
