Dual Aeromed being loaded with Burn victim from a 2nd alarm house fire

On Friday, January 1, 2021 Girardville fire companies and others were dispatched to a working fire with reports of entrapment at 217 West Main Street in their borough. Chief Zangari quickly arrived and found the occupants on the roof with reports of some still inside as well. Before more fire units arrived neighbors sprang into action and grabbed a ladder to help rescue those on the roof. A second alarm as quickly sounded bringing in more manpower to help extinguish the blaze. Chief Zangari stated that 2 children were flown by Life Flight and Medvac while one adult was also transported via ground. Firefighters were able to contain just about all the damage to 217 while 215 only had some water damage. The owner and occupant of 215, Mary Ferrari praised Chief Zangari and all the local firefighters who prevented her home from being damaged. She stated if it wasn’t for their quick response and action she fears she would have lost her house.

This fire has been ruled to have been caused by malfunctioning space heater.
