Thank you to every firefighter, officer, EMS provider, and support member who worked on scene yesterday. Nearly nine hours of sustained operations takes an incredible amount of teamwork, dedication, and hard work. We also appreciate the departments who provided standby coverage throughout the incident, helping ensure our community continued to have emergency protection while multiple companies were committed to the fire.
A special thank you to our Monroeville Telecommunications Officers who did a fantastic job at dispatching and handling the call, including a Mayday, multiple PAR checks, and coordinating multiple companies, with a calm presence. Also, thank you to Monroeville, PA Police Dept and Monroeville Public Works for assisting with traffic control.
Thank you to everyone who answered the call, supported the operation, provided rehab and resources, and continued working until the job was done.
