Twenty-seven-year-old Harris Dale Booker of Bradford Woods has been charged with felony counts of arson and risking catastrophe and misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment and criminal mischief in a complaint filed following an incident that occurred on Saturday. 

According to police, Cranberry Township police, firefighters and emergency medical crews were dispatched to the BP station on Route 19 at 7 a.m. and found the fire had been extinguished, but surveillance camera recorded the incident.

Police confirm that a video shows Booker entering the store and prepaying for gas, exiting the store, dispensing gas on himself and the ground around him and igniting the gas.

Police also state that the footage shows him briefly standing in the flames before walking toward the building to remove his burning clothes.

He stayed there until a passerby stopped there and extinguished the fire using a portable extinguisher. 

Police also affirmed that they found a text message from Booker saying he intended to blow up the gas station, and the fire left damage that was visible, which included burn marks and charring to a gas pump, a vehicle and the pavement that was between the pumps and the building.

Booker was treated at UPMC Mercy Hospital for burns on his arms and legs.

The results showed good performance in standardized tests.

However, limitations occurred when new scenarios were presented.

All four of the vehicles avoided a collision in the standardized left turn across oncoming traffic scenario.

Furthermore, three of the four systems did not prevent a collision when a vehicle entered their path from a side road.

(Allegheny County, PA) The Allegheny County Health Department held a public hearing yesterday to get feedback on U.S. Steel’s proposed hot strip mill.

U.S. Steel applied for a permit to install this new hot strip mill at its Edgar Thomson Plant in Braddock.

According to the company, the hot strip mill, which is capable of producing up to 3,500,000 tons of hot rolled steel annually, will replace the existing hot strip mill at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Plant in West Mifflin.

The feedback for that hot strip mill had mixed reactions, with some agreeing with it and others disagreeing with it.

Several speakers spoke in support of it, saying that it will create job opportunities and modernize operations.

However, some residents said that they fear that the emissions will add to generations of health issues.

Allegheny County will accept written comments about the hot strip mill by the public through Tuesday, November 17th.

A decision date on the permit for this hot strip mill has not been set at this time.
