UPDATE: Indiana Fire Association officials say that the original call of a brush fire on South 7th Street in Indiana Borough was not accurate. Even though Indiana County 911 reported the call as a “Brush Fire”, Indiana Fire officials said that the call was actually a response to a carbon monoxide alarm that had gone off. It was a false alarm. No damage or injuries were reported.
WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY REPORTED
