State Police Fire Marshal Investigating Cause of Cecil Blaze

The mobile home fire was reported Sunday night.

A state police fire marshal is investigating the cause of a blaze that damaged a mobile home in Cecil Township on Sunday night.

There is actually a great bit of sight distance in each direction when stopping at either stop sign. The only thing that blocks the view would be any signs that are posted from time to time. I do not want to see anybody hurt and there are many accidents at this intersection. I believe the whole problem is people rushing and not fully stopping at the stop signs.   more ›

If you’re looking for a free workout—fitness coach included—then head over the Muse Volunteer Fire Department on Tuesdays, where a Fit Club is being held. Yes, you read that correctly: Free.
