Since 1972, 11 PennDOT District 4 employees who went to work in the morning planning to return home to their families at the end of their shifts never made it. They were killed while doing their jobs.

Rescue operations are always risky for the responders and the victims who require rescuing. Please be smart and do not put Yourself or our members at risk by going past the areas that are marked. The Deputy Chief said it best in this segment, the gorge is incredibly dangerous. Be smart, and be safe!
