Firefighters From Seven Counties Battle Tire Fire
On September 28, 1996 at 9:35 p.m. units from Shippensburg and Walnut Bottom were sent to the Juniata County Tire Recycling plant to assist at a tire pile fire. The incident came in on September 27 around 6 a.m. and more than 20 fire companies from seven counties including a crash truck from Harrisburg International airport and the Department of Environmental Protection agency battled the blaze. The fire involved a 100 X 200 foot pile of tires that burnt for days. The Vigilant Hose, Pleasant Hall and South Newton Twp. fire companies assisted at the scene along with fire apparatus from at least 18 other fire companies.

I can remember stories about this one.
Brad, I was at Pleasant Hall at the time of this Fire, We took a crew to assist but equipment. Now I live just up the road from the place.
Former A/C 11

I made a typo, PHFD only sent manpower by pov, no equipment
