All three of Scott Township’s fire departments were honored for improving their insurance rating and becoming the only municipality with multiple fire halls at that level.
All three of Scott Township’s fire departments were honored for improving their insurance rating and becoming the only municipality with multiple fire halls at that level. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Bower Hill, Glendale and East Carnegie, are rated at “3” ISO levels beginning on April 1. The P-G reported that the new ratings are because the volunteer firefighters showed that their training, equipment, and response times put them into the top tier. That means Scott Township residents could be paying lower insurance rates soon. The only neighboring community with a similar rating was Mt. Lebanon.

A ruptured water pipeline on Carothers Avenue in Scott Township broke windows and flooded two homes Tuesday night. The major pipeline between Magazine Street and the Glendale Bridge happened around 5:15 p.m. and caused major traffic delays and loss of water service to nearby homes. Rocks and gravel from the rupture went through one window and the water sprayed toward two homes. It eventually flooded the lower levels of the homes with about four inches of water. A video posted onto Chartiers Valley Patch by a reader showed the water rocketing out beneath the pavement and at two houses across the street. Glendale firefighters, whose station is just a few hundred feet from the break, were immediately on scene with vehicles to detour traffic …

Three adults who are accused of letting an 18-month-old boy wander unsupervised around Carothers Avenue in Scott Township will head to trial on child endangerment charges.
Three adults who are accused of letting an 18-month-old boy wander unsupervised around Carothers Avenue in Scott Township will head to trial on child endangerment charges. Police said Thomas Pointer, 64, April R. Keach, 47, and Gary L. Schuck, 54, didn’t watch the young boy when he left their Hill Street backyard and walked around the busy Glendale roadway. A Scott Township police officer driving through the area shortly after noon on May 3 spotted the boy and picked him up. Police said the parents of the children asked the three adults to watch the boy and his 8-month-old sister the night before while they went out. But police said the babysitters were intoxicated and Schuck, the children’s great uncle, had passed out after a night of …

A man dropped his shorts in front of Glendale residents while standing near St. Joseph Cemetery.
Scott Township police are investigating an indecent exposure incident after a man apparently dropped his pants in front of residents living in the Glendale neighborhood last week. Scott police Chief Jim Secreet said the man pulled down his shorts and exposed himself while standing near St. Joseph Cemetery on Magazine Street around mid-afternoon on June 13. A person who saw the incident called police about 30 minutes later. By then, the man, who is believed to be in his 40s, was gone and police had few other clues to find him, Secreet said. “When we got there, no one was around,” Secreet said. “We haven’t had anything else since.” Secreet said he’s not overly concerned since it has not occurred again in this area. Still, it’s one of the …
