Thanks to Emily Blackburn, Payton Turner and Christina Vo!
July 24, 2022
On July 3, 2022, the Bloomsburg Fire Department along with the Bloomsburg Police Department were both dispatched to a structure fire at 340 East 2nd Street. Sgt. Leonard Rogutski from the Bloomsburg Police Department arrived on site first. A resident directed Sgt. Rogutski to the rear of his home where a recently partially extinguished fire occurred. At the time of the fire, the resident and his family (total of four people) were inside the structure. The fire appeared to have started in a trash can next to his residence. It is not clear what caused the fire.
Three citizens noticed the fire and secured a fire extinguisher from their apartment and used it on the rapidly spreading fire. Emily Blackburn, Payton Turner and Christina Vo reacted quickly as they noticed flames spreading up the outside wall of the home. If it weren’t for their quick reactions, the fire would have spread and caused significant damage to the home, and risked the safety of the family.
These three citizens pictured were recognized at the last Town Council meeting. Both Chief Scott Price (Bloomsburg Police) and Chief Scott McBride (Bloomsburg Fire Department) vocalized their appreciation. The certificates provided were signed by both Chiefs along with Mayor Hummel in recognition of their efforts. Thank you for protecting the Bloomsburg community and for your actions to prevent this structure fire!

Agenda
Bike Lane on South Market Street
June 30, 2022
The South bound road for Market Street shifted East in order to place the first bike lane on the West side of Market Street! LIVIC Civil assisted the Town on this project! There was a public workshop session held on Monday, June 13th. Each owner was hand delivered a flyer on the evening of Friday, June 10th to inform them of this meeting. This provided an opportunity for owners to ask questions at the workshop. If you missed this workshop, check out this link for additional information: https://liviccivil.egnyte.com/fl/EKUNKY73Jc .
The white lines to delineate the bike path were just placed on the road on June 28th. The no parking signs were just removed today on Market Street. The traffic delineator posts are to be placed next week, followed by green piano stripping and bicycle prints to help differentiate. If you have additional questions, please e-mail [email protected]
