Police shut down traffic on 202, and given the high temperature that afternoon and the unique challenges of fighting the fire, Station 78 requested assistance from Montgomery Township Squad 18, firefighters said.

Engine 29 established a water supply from a nearby hydrant that provided enough water to extinguish the blaze.

There were no reported injuries and the roadway was reopened in just over an hour.
