We have opened the Brighton Township Vol. Fire Department station #3 at 84 Grange Road as a Warming Center for our Township Residents due to there still being numerous areas still without power. The Warming Center will be open until at least 8am Saturday. If you need to contact us please call 724-495-3803.If a storm knocks your power out and you use a generator, the PA Public Utility Commission urges you to connect the equipment you want to power directly to the outlets on the generator, not your home's electrical system, which could shock or injure utility crews working on nearby power lines.
