Two Brothers Bar-B-Q is open for business just as the final snowstorm swept through the area. The popular barbeque stand on Thoms Run Road in Presto reopened for the 2013 season on March 2 just as Old Man Winter threw one last snowstorm at the region.

A driver and his two dogs somehow escaped injury after their sport-utility vehicle rolled over into Thoms Run stream near Presto.
A driver and his two dogs somehow escaped injury after their sport-utility vehicle rolled over into Thoms Run stream near Presto. Emergency responders were called to the crash just off Thoms Run Road near the township line between Collier and South Fayette townships around 7 p.m. Monday, Presto fire Asst. Chief Glen Eger said. The driver apparently lost control during the heavy snowfall and the SUV slide off the bridge and into the stream. The vehicle was on its side in Thoms Run, so Eger said the firefighters had to do “a little bit of work get him out of there.” Eger found one dog sitting in the SUV and other dog under a seat. They were both uninjured, but rattled from the crash, Eger said. Thoms Run Road near the intersection with K B …

Firefighters from Bridgeville, Presto, Upper St. Clair and Moon Township just finished a class on how to use a specialized foam for chemical fires.
The parking lot at the Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Department was filled with suds Sunday afternoon as firefighters there took a refresher course on using foam to fight chemical fires. Firefighters from Bridgeville, Presto, Upper St. Clair and Moon Township finished their 16-hour refresher course on the “Class B” foam that is used for chemical fires that typically come from car crashes, train derailments or industrial accidents. The three South Hills departments have shared a trailer packed with the foam for several years, and Bridgeville fire Chief Bill Chilleo said it was about time to be recertified. “When you don’t play with something enough, you tend to forget,” he said. Moon also participated because it houses one of four regional …

At least 10 homes in the Presto neighborhood of Collier Township werewithout water for most of Thursday after a waterline ruptured on Prestley Road. Collier police said Pennsylvania American Water notified them on Thursday morning that crews would be digging on Prestley between Thoms Run Road and the Interstate 79 overpass. Prestley Road was reduced to one lane for most of the day as crews worked on the waterline break. The line was repaired around 5 p.m. Thursday, according to PA American Water spokesperson Josephine Posti. She said the drastic change of temperatures over the past few weeks likely led to the rupture of the 8-inch line. “When it goes to one extreme temperature to another, it does impact the ground around the pipes,” Posti …
