“He was coming down Main Street and seen it,” said Chief Charles Kelly, Jr. “When he got here he was able to get the truck out of the garage, one of the trucks out of the garage, and we were able to start attacking the fire.”
The damage was mostly contained to the garage with a brush truck and two quads destroyed.
“It’s kind of pointing to a vehicle that might have shorted out, caught on fire or something,” Kelly said. “When we got here there were two vehicles on fire in the building. The fire marshal will be able to tell us more when he gets here in the morning.”
