Emergency Services Contain Brush Fire in Birdsboro, Protecting Local Homes
Birdsboro emergency services responded to a brush fire that erupted on Monday afternoon, threatening homes and property in the area. The fire, reported around 2:50 p.m. near Cocalico and Douglas Street, quickly ascended a hill towards the Brooke Mansion development, endangering residences on Washington Street.
Despite the rapid spread of the flames, which destroyed two sheds, firefighters successfully contained the blaze by 4 p.m., preventing any damage to nearby homes. Fire crews, including multiple engines and ATVs, were deployed at strategic locations for an effective response. For public safety, fire police closed off roads in the vicinity of the incident. The situation required extensive overhaul efforts, but the prompt action of the fire services averted potential damage to the residential area.

American Red Cross
Pennsylvania Rivers Chapter
Opens New Office in Reading
The American Red Cross Pennsylvania Rivers Chapter has moved to a new location in Reading, transitioning from its previous Centre Avenue address to a new space at 237 Court Street within the Berks County Community Foundation building.
This move is part of an organizational effort to optimize operations and improve the working conditions for staff and volunteers.
Despite the change in location, the chapter assures continued commitment to providing essential services such as disaster preparedness, emergency response, and support for military families in Berks County. Last year alone, the chapter responded to over 300 disasters, assisting upwards of 1,400 individuals.
Pottstown Man Sentenced for
Indecent Assault, Subject to Extended Court Supervision and
Sex Offender Registration
Steven Deseignora of Pottstown, has been sentenced to a period of court supervision lasting approximately three years after pleading guilty to charges of indecent assault and corruption of a minor. The incident, which occurred in June 2021, involved inappropriate contact with an underage girl.
Deseignora, who has already served 388 days, will be on parole for up to 23 months, followed by a year of probation. He is also required to have no contact with the victim and must undergo a psychosexual evaluation, adhere to treatment recommendations, and will be assessed to determine if he is a sexually violent predator, which carries additional restrictions.
Furthermore, Deseignora is mandated to report his address to state police for 15 years under the state’s Sexual Offender Registration and Notification Act. The guilty plea came just as jury selection for his trial was about to commence.
The case began when the girl, with her guidance counselor, reported the assault to the police, stating that Deseignora had attacked her at a friend's home. She identified him from a photo lineup provided by the police. As part of the plea agreement, more severe charges against Deseignora were dismissed. The prosecution and defense handled the plea proceedings without going to trial.
Phoenixville Man Sentenced for Drug-Related Death of Girlfriend
Christopher Barbuto of Phoenixville PA, has been sentenced to 12 to 28 years in prison after being convicted of providing the lethal drugs to his girlfriend, which resulted in her overdose just before Valentine's Day in 2022. The judge criticized the man's lack of emotion and self-centered actions, particularly his delay in reporting his girlfriend's death to authorities and his demeanor during the emergency call.
Christopher Barbuto
Barbuto, a 41-year-old with a history of drug abuse, was living in a recovery residence when he supplied Courtney Wilson, 28, with Xanax and fentanyl. Despite his claims of innocence and care for Wilson, evidence showed he had invited her over with the promise of drugs on the night she overdosed.
The prosecution highlighted Barbuto's failure to use Narcan, an overdose-reversal drug he had in his possession, and his efforts to clean up the scene before contacting police. The defense pointed to Barbuto's past attempts at rehabilitation and support from his family, arguing he was not beyond redemption.
The case was built on extensive text message evidence and surveillance video, which showed Barbuto's actions before and after Wilson's death, including disposing of drug packages and lying to 911 operators. The jury found Barbuto guilty of felony drug delivery resulting in death, among other charges.
Before sentencing, Barbuto unsuccessfully attempted to dismiss his defense attorney, claiming ineffective counsel. The judge dismissed this motion, indicating that the evidence against Barbuto was overwhelming.
Embiid Dominates with 48 Points,
Leading Sixers to Fifth Consecutive
Win Over Wizards
Joel Embiid delivered a spectacular performance, notching a season-high 48 points with 29 coming in a flawless third quarter, propelling the Philadelphia 76ers to a 146-128 triumph over the Washington Wizards on Monday night. This victory marks the Sixers' fifth in a row since their narrow defeat in the season opener against Milwaukee.
Embiid's perfect third-quarter shooting spree included 10 field goals and 9 free throws, boosting the 76ers' advantage significantly. The star center's regular-season tally of 40-point games has now hit 40, and he rounded off his night with 11 rebounds and six assists.
Tyrese Maxey contributed 22 points and 11 assists, while Tobias Harris and DeAnthony Melton scored 18 and a season-high 14 points, respectively. Nicolas Batum made a notable 11-point debut for the Sixers, following his acquisition in the James Harden trade.
On the Wizards' side, Kyle Kuzma led with 28 points, and Jordan Poole added 23, but their efforts couldn't prevent the team's fourth consecutive loss, dropping them to a 1-5 record.
The Wizards' 19 turnovers were costly, often leading to fast-break points for the Sixers, who showcased a rapid offensive game throughout the night. Philadelphia's shooting was on point, with a 51 for 91 field goal performance and an impressive 32 of 36 from the free-throw line.
Phillies Pitcher Zack Wheeler Clinches First Career Gold Glove Award
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler was among the first-time recipients of the Gold Glove award, an honor recognizing defensive excellence in baseball. Wheeler's achievement marks a significant personal accolade in his career. The selection process for the award combines votes from managers and coaches with a defensive index from the Society for American Baseball Research.
