KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL - Smoke billows from the backyard of a home in Lost Creek #2 as a police officer watches on Nov. 29, 2020.
LOST CREEK #2 – Firefighters from William Penn and Altamont were called to this section of West Mahanoy Township Sunday night for a reported “unknown type” fire.
Crews were originally called to the 300 block of Mount Olive Boulevard in William Penn, though borough and township police found the fire behind a home at 11 Lost Creek Road in Lost Creek #2.
The fire was reportedly a bonfire involving all sorts of household trash. Such fires, which are common in rural parts of Schuylkill County, are prohibited in the township.
Sunday night’s call was not the first of its type to the residence this year. Crews were called for a similar incident on April 12.
