Firefighters help repair historic Adams County Courthouse clock tower after high winds
A historic Pennsylvania courthouse got a helping hand from community volunteers after a part of the building's clock tower came loose due to high winds, according to officials. In a release, the Gettysburg Fire Department shared that the volunteer department's firefighters were called to assist with securing loose pieces of an aluminum scroll on the Adams County Courthouse's clock tower on Wednesday morning after high winds and severe storms moved through the area on Tuesday. "Due to the increase of wind, it was important to secure this as soon as possible, so it would not blow off and potentially injure someone," the department said in their release. Utilizing the 104-foot aerial ladder of the department's Truck 1, a 2007 Seagrave ladder truck, maintenance personnel ascended the ladder and secured the aluminum scroll pieces back in place. Those storms, including a severe thunderstorm, had gusts up to 60 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Half-inch size hail was reported in Adams County, the weather service said, and social media reports showed significant hail in the northern portions of the county near Aspers. Wednesday was also expected to bring high winds, with the service forecasting wind gusts of 35 mph throughout Wednesday in Adams County. Fire police officers from the department assisted with traffic control on one of the borough's main roads as crews worked to secure the precariously dangling pieces of the building. The Adams County Courthouse, located at 111 Baltimore St., is a historic building within Gettysburg, and was built in 1858. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. During the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, the courthouse was used as a field hospital.

AT&T announces expanded coverage in Adams County as three new cell sites begin operations
AT&T announced the expansion of coverage in Adams County thanks to three new cell sites, the company said in a release. According to a release issued on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2025, the expansion came as AT&T added three new cell tower sites in Adams, and one in Perry County. In Adams County, AT&T added the following new sites: Baltimore Pike and California Road in Mount Joy Township Near Route 16 in Hamiltonban Township Gardners Station Road and Old Carlisle Road in Tyrone Township The move will expand 5G coverage for the cell service provider across several areas in the county, AT&T said. In addition, the new sites bring "Band 14" spectrum to the area, the company said, which is dedicated to AT&T's "FirstNet" service for public safety personnel. The company said that the spectrum set aside for "Band 14" is prioritized to FirstNet customers, such as police or fire departments, and in an emergency the band can be cleared of all traffic and locked to only public safety personnel. Such capacity was described as a "VIP lane," which allows emergency personnel to bypass congested cell traffic in the event of a widespread emergency that results in an influx of cell traffic. Outside of an emergency situation, the additional spectrum adds additional coverage and capacity for individual customers, AT&T said. In addition to the three in Adams County, AT&T also added a site in Perry County in the area of Middle Ridge Road and Little Buffalo Road, according to the release. According to the release, AT&T serves over 100 million customers and 2.8 million businesses across the country.
