Brandonville, Schuylkill County- If you're in need of emergency help in one part of Schuylkill County - you could be left waiting.    That's according to Firefighters at the Brandonville Volunteer Fire Company.
    They have been  suspended.
     The County's Communications Center was told they should not dispatch the company.
    The blame was directed at Township Leaders Monday night.
    Eyewitness News was told the company is owed three years of taxpayer-backed funding.
