I had turned off my scanner and had no clue that Hazle Township had this fire going until the Editor on Duty for the Standard Speaker called me to see if I would run and get some photos of the fire. (I have been working as a stringer for the paper since July, 2020 and have covered a bunch of other things and a few fires)

I arrived at the scene about 45 minutes after the first call came in and by that time all of the action was over. I have a pretty good relationship with the firefighters of the surrounding departments and talked with the Deputy Chief on the Scene. There were reports of a explosion and one firefighter was treated on scene for a minor injury.

Departments on the Scene:
Hazle Township Fire and Rescue
Harwood Fire Company
Valley Regional Fire And Rescue
Freeland Fire Company
City of Hazleton Fire Department

I was able to get a three pictures from the Hazle Township Fire and Rescue of before they got there and during the initial stages of the fire.

Blowing out the second floor in the rear if you notice you will see two nice size propane tanks below the fire.

Here is the view shortly after units arrived.

The rest are pictures that I took and converted to black and white.

This is all the action I saw is smoke and steam rising from the second floor rear windows.
