Barkeyville Fire
Multiple trucks caught fire early Tuesday morning at an oil company in Barkeyville, Venango County.
Multiple Butler County crews were called to assist around 4:16 am. at The Heath Oil Company along Route 8 just north of the Butler County Border. The fire reportedly began around 3:45 a.m.
Witnesses said there was an explosion involved early into the fire, or it may have marked the start.
Route 8 was shut down between I-80 and Route 208, and the fire was under control around 6:30 a.m.
The Prospect Borough-Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Department in a Facebook post acknowledged their involvement, including multiple photographs. One showed a large plume of fire and smoke. Another showed warped and melted tanks and trucks.
