Garage Fire
On Tuesday August 9, shortly after noon the Chambersburg Fire Department was alerted for a reported garage fire in the 200 block of North Main Street. As the Fire Chief exited the station he was able to confirm a working fire. Crews arrived within one minute of dispatch and upon arrival, crews encountered a two bay garage fully involved with multiple exposure issues.
Crews deployed handlines to the garage as well as to extinguish cars that were on fire due to the radiant heat. The garage was a total loss as well as nine vehicles that were on fire as well. Crews cleared shortly after 2 PM. First Photo CFD (watermarked) Remaining photos courtesy of Clopper Photography |
