Plainfield crews continued to the corrected MM and assisted the Palmer Municipal Fire Department.

33 NB was closed while crews worked at the scene.

As an important reminder, Plainfield Township Volunteer Fire Company said that they can’t stress the importance of providing the proper Mile Marker on State Highways and Interstates. Giving a location that is off by a few miles can delay critical aid.
