NEW KEN FIREFIGHTERS JOIN IN FIRE DRILL

New Kensington firefighters joined three others in running a fire drill at Parnassus Manor on Saturday.  The Trib reports that the drill was a chance to test out their response and discover what works and what doesn’t.  Saturday’s drill was called in shortly after 9 a.m. and went out over the Westmoreland County 911 system as a third-floor apartment fire. By 9:15 a.m., the block was surrounded by trucks with ladders leading to multiple floors, firefighters providing ventilation and a small group of residents milling around outside trying to determine if there was really a fire.
