In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Responding to the scene was the Williamsport Volunteer Fire & EMS, with six firefighters extinguishing the blaze. The fire was brought under control in approximately five minutes. Preliminary findings indicate the cause of the fire was accidental. No injuries or deaths were reported as a result of the incident. The estimated financial loss due to the fire is $20,000 for the vehicle and $100 for its contents. The investigation into the fire is ongoing. The Office of the State Fire Marshal, an agency of the Department of State Police, focuses on preventing fire and explosion incidents through education, inspection, investigation, and fire protection engineering.
