INDIANA COUNTY IN LOW FIRE DANGER, BUT PEOPLE ADVISED TO BE CAREFUL WHEN BURNING

Fire Departments and other groups are warning people to be careful about burining. While we have had some rain recently and the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources lists the county in the “low fire danger” category, people are being asked to take care when it comes to controlled burns. Autumn is one of the prime times for wildfires with leaves falling and drying, creating a “deep, fluffy layer” that creates a fire hazard.

A ‘blue wave' swept both Pennsylvania and the country. How did it look in Centre County?

A graphic for Centre County Democrats’ Election Night Party featured a blue wave — and few realized just how prescient that would become Tuesday night. Democrats made historic election gains across much of Pennsylvania and the country. They’re now set to control the commonwealth’s “trifecta” — meaning Pennsylvania’s governorship, state House and state Senate — for the first time in 33 years. Nationally, the Dems also took control of both the U.S. House and Senate. By the end of Tuesday night, some even labeled it a “ blue tsunami .” “I think it might’ve even exceeded my expectations,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, who also easily won reelection, told CBS on Wednesday morning . Centre County Dems’ Tuesday night party at Hyatt Place State College proved lively, with an energized crowd clapping along to blue gains announced on CNN. They applauded when Annie Andrews flipped a South Carolina Senate seat to blue for the first time in more than 20 years, and they undoubtedly celebrated when Kansas elected a Democratic U.S. senator for the first time since 1932. But, despite the local celebration, no red seats flipped blue in Centre County. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte,
