Sugar Grove Fire Chief Ben Chase confirmed that the fire is under investigation by the Sugar Grove Fire Department, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), and the Pennsylvania Fire Commissioner’s Office.

First responders arrived promptly at the scene and successfully contained the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby structures. Neighbors took precautions by evacuating their pets and staying ready in case they needed to leave quickly.

Multiple fire departments responded to the emergency, including Sugar Grove, Busti, Wrightsville, Lander, Starbrick, North Warren, and Youngsville, showcasing a coordinated effort to combat the fire.

Chase said the freezing conditions add to the danger of firefighting, including “keeping first responders safe on the ice, protecting them from exposure, and keeping the trucks from freezing.”

He also reminds the public to “avoid areas where an emergency is happening.”

The cause of the fire remains unknown, and officials are continuing their investigation to determine its origin.

Residents are urged to remain cautious and report any relevant information to the investigating agencies.
