Long hours, little rest

Ed Sassaman, Tamaqua fire police volunteer, directs traffic at the Five Points during Saturday's storm as other members man nearby corners. Local first responders put in a long weekend due to the storm, resulting in power outtages and downed trees. Hometown Fire Police Captain Merle Wertman reports that members of his crew worked the weekend with as little as four hours sleep.
