JESSUP -- An update on fire gear and equipment damaged at a massive blaze Friday in Lackawanna County.

Crews say their gear was stained by ink that leaked during the fire at Scranton Cooperage in Jessup.

On Monday, members of the Jessup Volunteer Fire Company told us they were advised not to use the gear until DEP tests come back to determine if it's safe.

Today, the Department on Environmental Protection issued a statement saying they never said not to use it, but to contact the manufacturer for information on cleaning the gear.

The company that many municipal departments use to clean their gear advised them not to use the gear until DEP tests are complete.
