Trucking Facility Blaze May Have Caused $1M In Damages

Damage to a Harmar trucking facility that burned to the ground Friday night could cost more than $1 million. Joe Luera, assistant chief at Allegheny Valley Volunteer Fire Company, said that figure could climb as the Allegheny County Fire Marshal’s office and insurance companies continue their investigation at Ideal Trucking. Luera and Matt Brown, chief of Allegheny County’s emergency services, said the cause has not been determined of the fire that consumed a 60- by 60-foot pole building on Rich Hill Road. Also destroyed were five tractor-trailers — three that were inside the building and two nearby.
