PORTER TOWNSHIP, SCHUYLKILL — An early morning fire in Porter Township, Schuylkill County left 7 people homeless and damaged three homes. WBRE reports, the fire was along Main Street, the Joliett Fire Company crews responded around 12:30am Saturday.
Fire Company President Troy Wolfgang says the fire could have been much worse because the buildings are conjoined. Among those displaced are Deputy Chief Rosco Kramer and his family. Officials say one woman is injured while escaping and will need surgery, and the Red Cross is assisting both families.
