River Road fire

QEM and Godfrey Fire Protection have been battling a blaze a long the River Road near Lockhaven Road for days. During an interview Riverbender.com on Thursday, Godfrey Fire Protection District Chief Erik Kambarian said the fire has caused crews to return to the scene multiple times. "We were up on the bluffs on territory of Principia College,” he said. “We have been out there off and on since it started on Saturday. QEM Fire Protection District is one of our mutual aid partners. QEM has a small, but dedicated group of individuals giving everything they have on a daily basis since this began. It is a very difficult and stubborn situation. We likely will be going back up there this afternoon to assist again.”
