Treasurer allegedly stole $250,000 from Pa. fire company, The longtime treasurer of a volunteer fire company in a Philadelphia suburb surrendered Friday to face charges of embezzling $250,000, prosecutors said.

Investigators say Nolan took $116,000 in cash advances from fire company accounts and also charged personal expenses to fire company credit cards.
