Overview
- The fire started shortly after 7 p.m. Tuesday at Treen Box and Pallet on the 400 block of Center Road in Walker Township.
- Officials said the four-alarm blaze was contained in about two hours and no injuries were reported.
- Thompsontown Volunteer Fire Company Deputy Chief Jeff Miller said equipment was freezing in roughly 8-degree weather as crews hauled water from the Juniata River due to the lack of hydrants.
- Departments are returning to the site and expect to remain for several days to manage hot spots and overhaul operations.
- Residents were urged to use caution near the scene because runoff created icy roads, and authorities have not released the cause of the fire.
