Truck full of extinguishers catches fire

A truck full of fire extinguishers and other safety equipment caught fire in Lancaster Township Wednesday afternoon. The Lancaster Township Fire Department was called to 1405 Wabank Road for a vehicle fire at 4:19 p.m.

When firefighters arrived, they found the 1991 Ford F-350 Super Duty truck had an engine fire. It was parked at a house across from the Hershey Heritage Village Apartments and the St. Joseph's athletic fields, close to trees and two parked vehicles.

To save the vehicles, the firefighters attacked the blaze from the driver's side of the truck, where they had less access. A turn-signal casing on the adjacent vehicle melted, and some branches of the nearby trees were burned.
