Police, borough worker handle fire
CLARKS SUMMIT - A dryer fire was brought under control by nearby Clarks Summit police officers and a Department of Public Works employee Wednesday night.
Police Chief Joe Laguzzi said three on-duty officers responded to the laundromat in the 100 block of Old Lackawanna Trail Road just after 6:30 p.m., when they heard calls over the scanner. They pulled a fire extinguisher from a police cruiser and used it to control the fire, which spread to the wall and ceiling of the building. Clarks Summit firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after.
The building suffered heavy smoke damage, but no one was injured, Chief Laguzzi said.
