Emergency responders were busy around Butler County Thursday afternoon with a vehicle fire and then later a multiple vehicle crash.
The first call came into the Butler County 911 Center just after 2 p.m. for a pickup truck on fire in the 100 block of Technology Drive in Butler Township. Early reports were that the truck on fire was located close to a building as well as other vehicles. A man at the scene reportedly suffered burns on his hands but the fire was out soon after Butler Township crews arrived on scene.
The second call came in about an hour later for a three vehicle accident in Cranberry Township on Route 228 just west of Franklin Road. Cranberry Fire Department was put back into service after EMS arrived to find only minor injuries. One of the vehicles involved was leaking fluid and cleanup was needed along with a tow.
