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?
The Williamsport Volunteer Fire Department responded to the scene, with 25 firefighters arriving and bringing the blaze under control within two minutes. The fire originated in the driver’s seat of the golf cart. While the golf cart sustained significant damage, an adjacent camper experienced only minimal damage. The owners of the golf cart were not present at the time of the fire.
The cause of the vehicle fire remains under investigation. The Office of the State Fire Marshal is seeking public assistance and urges anyone with information regarding this incident to contact their Western Region Office at 301-766-3888. The Office of the State Fire Marshal is a division of the Department of State Police, focused on fire and explosion prevention through public education, inspections, investigations, and fire protection engineering.
