Windmill Catches Fire near Mahanoy City Saturday Morning


For the second time in less than a few months, a windmill caught fire at the Locust Ridge Wind Farm.

Around 8:30am, Saturday morning, Mahanoy City firefighters were dispatched to the farm just outside Mahanoy City near Route 339 for a windmill fire.

Saturday's fire took place right next to the windmill that caught fire on December 28th, 2021.

Firefighters remained on scene while the fire burned itself out.
