The EVFD were dispatched to a fire at 202 West 5th St., at approximately 12:05 PM on Sept. 7. A large maple tree, near the corner of 5th and Poplar, was apparently smoldering on the inside, the result of someone putting a lit cigarette butt into the hollow cavity of the tree. Borough Manager Bob Aversa doused the fire with a hose, and Fire Department personel opened the cavity of the tree to insure that the fire was out.
