On behalf of the residents of Williamsport, let me offer thanks to all of the firefighters and emergency personnel who responded to the fire at Wolfe’s.
The residents want the responders to know how much their courage and heroism meant to everyone.
These brave individuals prevented this devastating fire from spreading to other properties and we are all truly grateful.
