Township Loses Entire Road Maintenance Fleet To Garage Fire

Investigators continue to examine the scene of a Friday morning fire that destroyed Kingsville Township’s road department garage and its fleet of vehicles, but the blaze’s exact cause may remain undetermined, Dennis Huey, township trustee, said Monday. "It’s the opinion of many the fire began in the (garage) addition, but we may never really know what started it," he said. Firefighters from five departments were dispatched to the garage, located on Cemetery Road a short distance from Route 193, at 4:37 a.m. Friday. The original garage, built in 1961 was gutted, while an addition constructed in the rear in the 1980’s was completely leveled.
