(Beaver County, PA) A firefighter was evaluated at a hospital after a fire in Beaver County yesterday. According to Baden Volunteer Fire Department Chief Dennis Baker, crews were called to Daniel Drive near the Baden-Economy border around 2:30 p.m. The fire was in a garage that housed a business and it was completely extinguished after about an hour and a half. Chief Baker also noted that by the time crews arrived, the garage was fully involved, and there were multiple explosions from acetylene tanks and during efforts of suppression, some magnesium ignited and threw sparks onto an Ambridge firefighter, who ended up falling. Baker stated that he was taken to a hospital for evaluation and has since been released. No other injuries were reported. The Economy Volunteer Fire Department confirmed that the building and its contents, including equipment vehicles, are a total loss.
