“What is the difference between an Excessive Heat Watch and Warning"
Hi Neighbors,
A common question that is asked all the time is “what is the difference between an Excessive Heat Watch and Warning, and how do they differ from a Heat Advisory?”
Below are the answers:
EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH
An Excessive Heat Watch is issued when there is a potential for the heat index value to reach or exceed 110 degrees or 105 degrees within the next 24 to 48 hours.
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
Hit and Run
Forty Fort Police are attempting to locate a vehicle involved in a Hit & Run Crash that occurred on Dana Street in Forty Fort on 7/4/2019 after 1pm. The suspect vehicle will be missing its passenger side mirror and will have damage to that location. The vehicle is a maroon colored Ford passenger car.
New Fireworks Ordinance
Forty Fort Borough Council has passed a new Fireworks Ordinance as a supplement to the newly revised fireworks laws in Pennsylvania. In addition to the state law that says, "Individuals may not intentionally ignite or discharge consumer fireworks within 150 feet of an occupied structure", the borough's ordinance also attaches a curfew of 10pm for those fireworks being ignited or discharged within the borough without a permit from Council.
