Prayers to Mr. Mesler. So sorry about the loss of your home and your dogs.
Why call PSP Emporium when the fire happened near ShInglehouse?? Why not call Coudersport PSP
To answer your question--Trooper David Surra is the State Police Fire Marshal. He is stationed at the
Emporium station. There is no Fire Marshal at the Coudersport station.
