Another Pennsylvania Firehouse Faces Foreclosure

In Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, a story appearing in Fire Fighting News reports:

• A bank filed a mortgage foreclosure against Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Department but that action was filed in error, the fire chief said Wednesday night. The complaint, filed by Omega Bank, claims the department has not made a payment on its $185,000 mortgage since September. The bank filed the claim on Tuesday.

• Contacted at home, township Fire Chief John Yuknavich said the bank made a mistake and he has not missed any of the monthly payments. He said he could not provide receipts to prove the claim was a clerical error without the department's executive board's approval. "That's all wrong," Yuknavich said. "The bank said it was a mistake on their end. They made a boo-boo. I don't think it's a big deal."
