Just before 1600hrs this evening, the Palmyra Volunteers were alerted for a reported structure fire in the township. Units arrived to find a well involved basement fire in a single family dwelling and quickly extinguished such, having the fire under control within approximately 15 minutes from dispatch. Thank you to the mutual aid companies for your response and assistance. (fb)

Attention Local Artists! We are seeking your help and talent. Since we moved into our new fire station in 2017, we’ve been working hard to instill the pride and tradition of Palmyra Fire and the fire service as a whole within our building. We’ve done as much as we can, but we’d love to have some community input from any artists that would like to make a lasting impression within our fire station for all walking through the building to admire. Specifically, large murals highlighting the fire service and/or the historic town of Palmyra, quotes of meaning and motivation, and anything else you feel would suit the station. If you feel you’re up for the task or would like to discuss the idea further, please e-mail cmccullough@palmyrafire.com with your ideas, questions, and examples of your work! We do have photos of inspiration to provide if desired. (fb)
