There also was a fire call at a home on the 100 block of Madison Avenue in Northumberland where crews found smoke and flames coming from the attic. Crews were called to the scene around 4 a.m. According to Northumberland Chief Brian Ginck the fire was brought under control quickly and damage was limited. Crews from Northumberland, Point township, Upper Augusta, Shamokin Dam, and Sunbury all responded and were on the scene for a couple of hours. Ginck said they were able to contain the fire to the attic and no injuries were reported.
