Fires rise with extreme cold in Delaware County
Winter fires surge as frigid weather strains heating systems and prompts risky attempts to stay warm. Fire officials report two county fire deaths this period, with dozens more in nearby Philadelphia and New Jersey. Emphasis on smoke detectors and home exit plans grows, as Chester joins county radio operations, and the Delaware County Hero Scholarship fund reaches its $20,000 goal.
