Scranton temporarily closed its East Mountain fire station Thursday morning due to a mold problem, officials said.

Councilman Joe Wechsler, a resident of East Mountain, announced the closure during a city council meeting.

An air quality specialist will inspect the firehouse today and, Until they get some kind of corrective action, the firehouse is closed, Mr. Wechsler said during a caucus before the regular meeting. East Mountains Engine 10 now is operating out of Fire Department headquarters downtown, he said.

Reached by phone after the council meeting, Fire Chief Patrick DeSarno said a few firefighters complained Thursday morning about physical symptoms from the mold, but he declined to give specifics. He said the East Mountain station has suffered from years of neglect ... (and) ongoing problems from a leaky roof. We have a possible mold problem. We took the precaution of getting our guys out of there.

Officials dont know how long the station may be closed, but once the air-quality test results are received, they will decide how to proceed. We cant really plan until we know what the problem is, Chief DeSarno said. Mr. Wechsler added that a remediation hopefully could be a simple fix.

The closure is a concern because of the remoteness of parts of East Mountain. In spring 2012, the Fire Department had a slow response to a fire at a house in East Mountain, where the fire station at that time had been closed. Immediately after that blaze, former Mayor Chris Doherty reopened the East Mountain firehouse.

We all know the concerns we have when Engine 10 is not open, Mr. Wechsler said.

In another matter, council took the first step toward creating a special account for receipt of parking-violation revenue from the citys new civilian enforcement program. Council voted 5-0, with Mr. Wechsler, council President Bob McGoff and members Pat Rogan, Wayne Evans and Bill Gaughan all in favor, to introduce an ordinance creating the account.

The enforcement stems from a new police contract approved in January that allowed two civilian clerks working in the Police Department to enforce nonmeter parking violations throughout the city, such as the following: parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, 25 feet of an intersection, and 30 feet of a stop sign; parking facing the opposite direction of traffic; parking without a permit in a permit area, in a space reserved for disabled residents without approval, or too close to a fire hydrant.

Mr. McGoff said several complaints have been received from elderly residents who have been ticketed for parking against traffic. These residents have said they park this way for better access getting into and out of vehicles along a sidewalk instead of onto streets and roads.

A porch is a platform structure attached to the home and shielded by an overhang or roof. The main purpose of the porch is to lend architectural significance to the front entrance as well as offer protection from the elements while entering or leaving the home. A porch usually has support beams or columns and may be partially enclosed. The front porch, located next to the front entrance, serves as the transitional space between the public street and the private home. A back porch may extend directly onto a patio or backyard. Read more History of the porch

The word "porch" comes from the Latin porta, meaning "passage." Porches have been used as architectural forms since ancient times. Temples and churches have used porches to signify the front entrance and provide a place to protect worshipers from the rain as they entered the ceremonial structure. Church porches would often be the place where ceremonies and religious processionals began.

More than any other outside element of the home, the front porch holds a huge cultural and social importance. In some neighborhoods, the front porch is the place where neighbors share information, swap gossip, or pass time. Like the front stoop, the front porch carries a significance that extends beyond the individual home. In neighborhoods where many of the homes have a front porch, neighbors take note of varying decoration styles and porch personalities. In fact, the concept of New Urbanism proposes that the presence of a front porch helps create a greater sense of community and, possibly, responsibility within a neighborhood.

Porch styles differ from home to home. The porch is designed to amplify the home's architectural style. Some homes have large porches that extend the length of the home (and may actually have a second story) and others have a very minimal, and small, porch. In Ranch-style homes, where the main entrance is at ground level, the porch may simply be a covered patio. For homes in which the main entrance is several steps above ground level, the front porch becomes an architectural feature designed to add balance and symmetry to the home.

Plantation homes in the south are known for their large front porches, sometimes called verandas. The veranda often extends the entire faade of the home and sometimes wraps around the sides of the house. In some parts of the country it is common to see screened-in porches. This is usually seen in warm climates that are prone to bugs or mosquitoes. In these instances, porches usually have half-walls around the perimeter of the porch, and screen windows complete the rest of the wall. For homes without air-conditioning, these screened-in porches can become sleeping porches perfect for sleeping through hot summer nights in a protected, bug-free room. In winter months, these screens may be covered completely with glass windows so homeowners can continue to use the space despite the cold temperatures.

The porch is usually large enough to hold several people while they enter the home and some porches are large enough to hold sofas, rocking chairs or other seating. There are classic pieces of furniture like the porch swing or porch chair as well as containers and potted plants. Functional items like a mailbox, house numbers, porch lights, ceiling fans, umbrella stand, welcome mat and shoe stand might also be present.

Maintaining the porch structure is an important part of home ownership. For many homes, the front porch is the main entrance to the home, so ensuring that stairs, handrails and other elements are safe is very important. Elevated porches can offer the ideal location for animals to make their homes under and wood porches are often subject to termite damage. Railings and banisters should also be checked for sturdiness year after year. For significant work, be sure to hire a professional who understands building construction and safety.

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga.

People in a Douglas County city are using blue lights on their front porches to show support for law enforcement. Channel 2s Tom Jones talked to residents in Douglasville who say officers need their support now more than ever. "When someone catches some of them doing something wrong, it makes the news. You catch someone out here helping someone, very seldom makes the news," homeowner Ben Cureton said. It's why he installed two blue lights on his front porch. "To show our support for law enforcement," Cureton said. Cureton's neighbors have installed blue lights as well. The Douglasville City Council passed a resolution encouraging residents to turn on blue porch lights the month of April to show support for all public safety personnel. One of the co-sponsors says the resolution has nothing to do with the controversies surrounding officers shooting unarmed black men. "If we don't show our appreciation and our love for our first responders, who will?" Douglasville City Councilman Samuel Davis asked. The councilman said citizens and officers love the idea. But not Nathaniel White. He says he won't be putting up any blue lights. White says with local and national controversies involving law enforcement making the news, putting up a blue light is divisive. He says it sends a message people are taking sides. The police side, he said. White told Jones he's an advocate for a different color light. "I think it should be a white color for humanity to bring us all together. Symbolizing peace," he said. White also wondered if police would come to a home and not see a blue light and treat the homeowner differently. The Douglasville deputy police chief said his officers are professionals and will do their jobs no matter who has a blue light. Douglasville is asking residents to use a blue light in support of officers throughout the month of every April.
