Millersburg Fire Company units were dispatched today, April 19, 2021 at 1140 for a report of a tree down blocking the roadway on Shippen Dam Road. Chief 201 (Koppenhaver), Attack 20 and Engine 201 responded with 11 personnel. Crews found a large Pine tree had fallen completely blocking the road. Crews began cutting the tree in to manageable pieces until the arrival of a backhoe from Upper Paxton Township. The backhoe removed the tree while fire crews used a leaf blower to clean off the roadway prior to reopening for traffic. Thank you very much to Rich and Dave with Upper Paxton Township for the assistance. This is an excellent example on working together with our community partners.
