The fight between several people happened Monday night during a heated Pitcairn council meeting that disbanded a volunteer fire company.

A Pitcairn volunteer firefighter was arrested Monday night following an altercation among several people in Pitcairn, according to Tribune-Review news partner WPXI-TV.

WPXI-TV didn’t name the firefighter. The investigation is ongoing.

Pitcairn has two volunteer fire departments. VFD #2 was set to be disbanded at the end of the year, WPXI-TV said.
