Perkiomen Township Fire Company volunteers didn’t travel far from their station Friday in response to a motor vehicle accident. It was only a short distance away on Gravel Pike at Trappe Road.
Perkiomen Township firefighters were joined early Sunday by those from Trappe, Skippack, and Collegeville to extinguish a small basement fire at a Gravel Pike property.
Members and volunteers of five local fire companies and departments helped clear a dump truck accident Friday morning on U.S. Route 422 west of Route 29, which spread sand across the highway.
