"There was a large amount of fire there when we arrived," Miller said. "The fire was way too far ahead to save anything. It was defensive from the get go." According to Somerset County 911's PulsePoint service, the initial dispatch brought in companies from Meyersdale, Salisbury, Garrett, Rockwood, Berlin and Wellersburg.
