UNIONTOWN, Pa. — Saturday was a first for Corporal Zachary Vernail of the Uniontown Police Department, who has been an officer for eight years and a volunteer firefighter for a decade. He’s never responded to a fire where someone was still trapped. “Even as a firefighter, this was the first time,” Vernail said. Vernail was on patrol Saturday when the call came in that a house on Evans Street in Uniontown was on fire. He was the first on scene and immediately jumped into action.

There wasn’t a long line at the Uniontown DMV for its REAL ID day Monday, but there was a steady flow of people stopping by to get one. “I wanted it in case I want to travel, in case I want to fly, and so I decided I better just get it and have it,” said Michelle Keslar of Fayette County. It is optional in Pennsylvania to get a REAL ID, but without one, you won’t be able to take domestic flights or enter government offices or military bases unless you have a passport.

MT. PLEASANT TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Bob Ersick has lived on Mount Pleasant Road in Fayette County for 21 years and has seen traffic increase. “It’s increased a lot, probably over double in the time that we bought this,” Ersick told Channel 11′s Andrew Havranek. Now, he’s worried a PennDOT project is going to make it worse. “My biggest concerns are getting in and out of my driveway and taking the value away from my property,” he said.
