No One Injured in Fire that Destroyed Box Truck in Media

responded to a truck fire on Fussell Street, a small side street between Third and Second streets, off of Jackson Street at about 2:45 p.m. on Monday.

Media Fire Co. Firefighter Bryan Rachko said the fire was under control in less than 20 minutes and there were no injuries.

The fire was contained to the box truck that was running, but parked, between two residential garages, Rachko said.

"It was contained to the truck with minor damages to the buildings but the truck was a total loss," he said.

The work truck, which was used for spray foam insulation, was running by a generator as work was being done inside a nearby residence, the owner of the truck said.

Rachko said firefighters removed parts of the soffit on the one garage to insure nothing was burning underneath the soffit.

He said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The emergency call first came in as a truck fire, Rachko said, but was then raised due to the proximity of the garage buildings and other fire companies responded to the scene.

Along with Media Fire Company, South Media Fire Company, Rose Tree Fire Company, Newtown Square Fire Company and Riddle Ambulance Service all responded to the scene. 

The spray foam company was Thermal Seal Experts.
