Irony: Truck Carrying Fire Safety Equipment Catches Fire

Today's news is brought to you by Smurfy and the word "irony." In Lancaster, PA, a truck full of fire extinguishers and safety equipment caught on fire last week.

Firefighters arrived at the scene to find that the '91 Ford f-350 Super Duty truck was experiencing an engine fire. The truck was parked at a house near Hershey Village Apartments, close to civilization. It resulted in the burning of some branches, as well as minor damage to a nearby parked car.

The truck belonged to the Lancaster Safety Technologies company. The company's specialization is "fire extinguisher inspections, recharges and sales." Though none of the safety equipment was damaged, the company lost their truck and had about $25,000 in total damages.

The fire was determined as accidental.
