It’s been a busy last 24 hours for our Allegheny County EDS teams!

Currently, two teams are on-scene of a structure fire in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Pittsburgh providing feeding, hydration, and cooling services to the first responders engaged in the incident.

Last evening the team responded to a Hazmat Incident on the 62nd Street Bridge - Providing approximately 6 hours of support for emergency crews with feeding & hydration services.
