While crews were busy at the scene company 7 was alerted for a MVA in Union Township Crews went responding with Rescue 7 to find a tree had fallen onto a car that was driving under it. Crews removed the tree and cleared the scene within an hour. Engine 7-1 crew was in service for about 3.5 hours in Cumru Township.
