***SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT *** from Midway Fire Company
Daylight has brought fresh crews to the scene of yesterday’s large brush fire in the area of Aquetong Rd.  The section of roadway between Lower Mountain and Stoney Hill remains closed as crews and command have taken up position and will continue addressing hot spots and areas of active burning.  Residents and visitors to the area are requested to please avoid this area and to expect delays.  Please seek alternate routes of travel around this area and keep in mind that there is a festival occurring this weekend in Peddler’s Village.  Please respect signage and directions by fire police officers who are attempting to keep the public and fire crews safe.  The use of privately owned drones is also not permitted in this area as fire command may be periodically launching official drones attached to fire service needs to study the area to assist in decision making.  Additionally, the smell of smoke in the area due to this fire is to be expected.  If you are calling 911 to report an odor of smoke, please keep this in mind. Obviously if you’re truly concerned or if you actually see fire, please call 911 immediately. The county is experiencing high call volume for smoke odor investigations from these fires. 

Bucks County remains in a NO BURNING ALERT in which all are urged to comply.  Crews are already spread thin, conditions remain ripe for brush fires and all attempts to minimize further risk of fire are imperative.  Your cooperation is most important at this time and most greatly appreciated.  Much thanks.
