First responders from Indiana and Jefferson Counties were called for a fire yesterday morning in North Mahoning Township.
Indiana County 911 sent several units, including Punxsutawney EMS, to the intersection of Route 119 and Leasure Road in Marchand. Gavin Misko of the Marion Center fire department said that a 20-by-30-foot garage was engulfed in flames when they arrived and had spread to a nearby camper and pickup truck, all the while endangering a house.
Crews were able to put the fire out, but the garage and vehicles were a total loss. The estimated damage is around $100,000. Firefighters were on the scene for about three hours. No injuries were reported. Officials believe a wood burner was the cause of the fire, but they have called the State Police Fire Marshals in to investigate.
