Fire damage at Hunter Truck could reach $1 million
SUMMIT TWP — A fire at Hunter Truck Center at 174 Oneida Valley Road resulted in possibly $1 million in damage Friday afternoon, officials said.
Mike Bester, Lick Hill Volunteer Fire Department assistant chief, said he arrived at the truck body and collision garage soon after receiving the 4:43 p.m. call to see flames shooting out from one of the garages.
The fire then engulfed the rest of the body shop garage, which contained two trucks, and spread to the paint shop in an adjacent garage.
Bester said one garage is destroyed and another sustained damage and estimated the loss at possibly $1 million. He said no one was injured in the fire.
Fire departments responding included Herman, Unionville, Chicora, Oneida Valley, East Butler, Butler Township, Slippery Rock, Saxonburg, Oakland Township, Prospect and North Washington. East Butler Ambulance and state police were also at scene.
