EMMAUS BOROUGH Fast action quashes fire

PRESS PHOTO BY JIM MARSH Three area mutual aid fire companies respond to help Emmaus Fire Department firefighters when a vehicle fire is upgraded to a structure fire as an adjacent garage becomes involved about 1 p.m. Aug. 9. Flames ignite the roof area above a contractor's pickup truck parked in close proximity to the garage. The truck is destroyed in the blaze. While Emmaus firefighters make a quick stop of the fire, firefighters from Vera Cruz, Macungie and Western Salisbury fire companies back up their efforts. The garage stands at the northwest corner of North and Warren streets in the borough.
