Borough officials Tuesday night, praised the firefighters, particularly Donnie Larrick Jr., who was first to arrive on scene and quickly moved into action with the help of police. No one was injured.
Councilman Joe Pucci, public safety chairman, touted the benefits of having a full-time fire department.
Councilwoman Tina Iorfido-Miller, who is friends with the Schneider family, said she knows they plan to rebuild in Ambridge after losing everything.
