My mom said the same thing, she thought it was a checkpoint, too. But no, just massive flames in front of the paint store.

copy/pasted from a FF board

Ross Police is screaming that there is something on fire on McKnight Road in Ross and he needs it shut down NOW!! Update to come…from what i’m gathering…a truck ran into a building with entrapment and the truck is on fire…truck into a telephone pole at Boston Market…no longer entrapment, but the pole is sheared and must be across McKnight northbound…transformer on fire…sounds like a mess…both northbound and southbound lanes are closed with lines across all lanes of McKnight Road…

The last I heard Mcknight is still closed and heard command requesting 246 and another company, not sure who. 246 engine one non-emergency but laying in. Anyone have any updated info? Also just heard 171 get dispatched for a 2nd alarm possible structure fire ( apartment building ) in the City of Duquesne.
