Initial reports were of a single vehicle that had overturned multiple times, with the occupant trapped.

As Engine Rescue 17 and Rescue 17 arrived on scene, crews found one vehicle off the roadway with negative entrapment and minor injuries. A single occupant was treated on scene and transported by Moshannon Valley EMS.

Later that evening, Company 17 was alerted to assist the BJW Volunteer Fire Company with a working fire at the Walmart Distribution Center. Reports were of an explosion with fire. First arriving crews arrived on scene to find that the fire had been extinguished. Crews checked for exposures and ventilated the building.

Shortly after returning to the station, Company 17 was alerted for a second working fire at the Distribution center. This incident was entirely in a separate area from the first call.

Fortunately, the sprinkler system contained the fire to the second- and third-floor racking systems. Crews extinguished the remaining fire and began overhauling the area, including ventilation.
