04/17/19 at 12:12 P.M. Brush units from ETFD along with other mutual aid companies were dispatched to Neversink Mountain in Lower Alsace Twp. to assist at a working brush fire. Crews had a difficult time to get the fire contained due to the steep, rocky terrain. Fire was contained to approximately 5 acres. After the fire was contained, crews were made available, and the scene was turned over to the local Forestry Crew (Berks Emergency Strike Team) and DCNR Bureau of Forestry.

The fire is under investigation with DCNR, and Central Berks Regional Police Department.

Great work to all personnel involved! ... See MoreSee Less
