At approximately 10:30 a.m. Tuesday there was a minor incident at the Clearfield County Jail involving rags smoldering in a receptacle in the kitchen area. It was quickly moved outside and extinguished, and the area ventilated to clear any smoke. At no time was there any danger to either the inmate population or the CCJ staff.
A huge thank you to the jail staff and all who responded including the Clearfield Regional Police Department. Clearfield Fire Department, Lawrence Township Fire Department, Clearfield EMS, and the Clearfield County Emergency Management Department.
