CARBON COUNTY, Pa. — A community in Carbon County could soon lose one of its fire companies.
The Kidder Township Supervisors will decide if the Kidder Township Volunteer Fire Company will no longer be authorized in the township over allegations of money mismanagement. For the people living in a rural community near Jim Thorpe, fire and emergency response is handled by three volunteer fire companies; Kidder Township Fire, Albrightsville Fire and Lake Harmony Fire.
But now, residents could be losing a third of that protection if the Kidder Township Fire Company loses its authorization to provide coverage. “It’s such a large area, god forbid there’s some incident or some kind of problem, you’re talking about a big delay in getting someone there,” said Mahasin Pegeise. “That’s a risk I wouldn’t want to face, I’ve got small kids, certainly wouldn’t want to see that happen.”
