Pickup truck catches fire for second time

BUTLER TWP — The same pickup caught fire along West Penn Street Extension three days apart, according to authorities.

“It was the second time,” Kaufman said.

The Tuesday fire was reported at 6:43 p.m. Kaufman said the flames emanating from the engine and passenger compartment were doused within 25 minutes.

“The shell of it is still there,” he said.
