At least one person is confirmed dead in the blast, city police said.Members took advantage of a great opportunity to work with a local farm and practiced in large animal handling and herding goats. The team members worked on team building exercises and communications. Thanks for everyone who attended.
Tonight member of our team responded to Kings Highway South in Lower Milford, Lehigh County to assist with the rescue of three cattle and two sheep that were stuck in the deep water of a rapid flash flood. The animals were actually all swept away and one point and later located. Team members worked with the farmer to herd the animals back to safety and into their pastures. One sheep still remains on the loose but is close by and in good psychical condition. Thank you to all involved. Especially the local community that came out and helped a local farmer.
