Crews Battle Brush Fire in Town of Nanticoke

Multiple crews were on the scene of a brush fire in the Town of Nanticoke just before 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The brush fire located on Pendell Hill Road was started by electrical wires rubbing against trees.

The flames were knocked down before spreading to nearby homes but came as close as 20 feet from a house.

A red flag warning has been in effect all day in the Southern Tier, and Glen Aubrey Fire Chief Gary Smith says it’s important to follow the rules on days like this.

“There’s a burn ban in effect for a reason. It’s dry, people think because we got a lot of rain the ground is wet, the stuff on top is not wet it’s still dry. Until these trees green up and the grass greens up you just gotta use your head. Don’t do it.”

Fire departments on scene include Glen Aubrey, the Town of Lisle, the Town of Maine, and Chenango Bridge. New York State Forest Rangers were also on scene.

No one was injured.

Overflowing Nanticoke Creek Cuts Off Town of Maine Residents For Several Hours

Nanticoke Creek overflowed Tuesday morning, washing out roadways and blocking the routes in and out of the Town of Maine. Highway Superintendent Joe Dohnalek says those waters did recede giving residents a way out of town in the late morning. A state of emergency was declared for the town, which saw the brunt of the flash flooding in Broome County. 

“Right now it’s just monitoring the water as it recedes and assessing the damage,” says the Director of Broome County Emergency Services Michael Ponticello. 

The Town of Maine fire station was center of operation for first responders and officials dealing with the Maine flooding. Police, Emergency Services, the town supervisor, County Executive Jason Garnar, and the highway department all using the station as a point of deployment to the affected areas of the town. Hopping in Highway Superintendent Joe Dohnalek’s truck, we were shown the places hit the hardest by the overnight flooding. 

Driving around the barriers put up on a still closed Nanticoke Ave, Dohnalek points out the window to his left, “See all this grass is muddy, the water up through here was about 4 feet deep.”

Overflowing Nanticoke Creek Cuts Off Town of Maine Residents For Several Hours

This portion of Nanticoke Ave was under about 4 feet of water on Thursday morning.

A black pickup truck is sitting in the middle of the road. Dohnalek says the driver tried to go through the washed out portion of Nanticoke Ave and stalled out. That truck is now a good reference point for how deep the water was just hours earlier. Dohnalek points out the license plate that is now crumpled up from the force of the water. “So, it was about up to the headlights,” says Dohnalek.

Just past that truck,…

Joseph “Big Joe” Vitale III – Wilkes-Barre Citizens’ Voice

Joseph “Big Joe” Vitale III OBITUARY

Joseph Big Joe Vitale III, 61, formerly of West Nanticoke, PA, and Honeybrook, PA, passed away, surrounded by family, on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital.

Joe lived a life defined by hard work, generosity, and unwavering love and support of family, nature, and craftsmanship.

Born on July 20, 1963, in Wilkes-Barre, Joe was the son of the late Joseph and Ann Marie (Barberio) Vitale. He was a 1982 graduate of John S. Fine High School in Nanticoke, PA, where he wrestled and played football. Joe spent nearly 20 years working alongside the Amish in PA Dutch Country, sharing his farming techniques and deepening his connection to the land.

Joe was a skilled and hardworking mason, dedicating his life to his craft. From small family projects to masonry work on celebrity homes, his craftsmanship and work ethic were second to none. But as much as Joe loved his trade, his true passion was farming. He found joy in working his land in the Plymouth Flats, growing vegetables, and raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits. He was truly one with the land – hunting, fishing, and simply enjoying the outdoors every chance he got.

Joe never asked for much for himself but gave endlessly to others. He spent his teen years helping raise and watch over his nine younger siblings, serving as the built-in babysitter and keeping everyone in line. He was the first to show up at your door with freshly grown vegetables or meat from his farm, never expecting anything in return. He took care of everyone in his own quiet way, always giving more than he received.

Joe was a brother, an uncle, a mason, a farmer, and a man whose hands shaped both stone and soil. He…

All charges withdrawn against Stelco after 2 workers died from burns at Nanticoke, Ont., plant

The provincial Crown has withdrawn all charges against Stelco, after two workers suffered severe burns they later died from. 

All but one Ministry of Labour charge was also withdrawn against John Kenyon Ltd., the sheet metal contractor and employer of Gabriel Cabral, 32, and Sean MacPherson, 56, who were badly injured on April 25, 2023 at the Stelco Lake Erie Works plant in Nanticoke. 

At the Ontario Court of Justice in Cayuga last week, John Kenyon instead pleaded guilty to one count of failing to take every reasonable precaution to protect a worker. It was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and 25 per cent victim fine surcharge, said the Ministry of Labour. 

John Kenyon and Stelco did not respond to CBC Hamilton’s request for comment. 

Cabral’s mother, Pam Fraser, said earlier this year, she was shocked to learn the Crown wasn’t pursuing all the charges through a trial.

While excruciating to sit through, a trial would’ve meant Fraser heard evidence and testimony that would’ve helped her understand how 70 per cent of her son’s body sustained severe burns while on the job.

“I want assurance this is not going to happen to another person or family again” Fraser said, speaking to CBC Hamilton on Friday — a few days after the court case concluded.

“I am just so angry. My son died in vain.” 

Died weeks later in hospital

Cabral and MacPherson were burned by steam while repairing steel cladding on a quench tower, a structure used for cooling hot coke in the steelmaking process, their families previously told CBC Hamilton. 

John Kenyon and Stelco had each initially faced four charges under the Occupational Health and Safety Act including failing to provide information, instruction and supervision to workers.

Among those withdrawn, John Kenyon had been charged with failing to provide equipment, materials and protective devices to protect workers from hot steam, and Stelco with failing to have an emergency stop device on the mogul/quench car.
