Beaver Falls Fire Department lost 13 sets of gear, 10 self-contained breathing apparatuses and 10 face pieces because it responded to the East Palestine derailment, according to the Fire Fighter Association.
Darlington Township firefighters never thought twice about responding to the Norfolk Southern train derailment in nearby East Palestine, Ohio.East Palestine, where the accident occurred, sits just over the state border from Darlington, and a portion of the township fell within the 1-mile evacuation zone.
New personal gear had arrived, and vehicles were cleaned and ready, Laderer told PennLive during a March 6 visit to Darlington by U.S. Sen. Bob Casey. But, under federal legislation proposed by Pennsylvania’s U.S. Sens. Bob Casey and John Fetterman, and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, a new fund would be created to provide financial assistance to fire and police departments caught in similar hazardous material disasters.
