Major Youngstown Fires

Major Youngstown Fires...

A fire department isn't a fire department if there aren't any major fires in it's history. Youngstown has had it's share. Only 2nd alarm or greater are listed here. If you know any others, (and there are lots of others!) please let me know so I can add them.  I will be adding some additional reports such as Severe Storm Response Lists and other large scale incidents as well.
