This is video shot last night by Bill Rohrer of Newsworking at Rayco Auto Center on Union Boulevard in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Here is an excerpt from what Bill wrote about the fire:

Engines 6 (E5), 13, 9, Truck 2 and Battalion 4 (Wehr) respond on the ticket. 

Engine 6 arrives and reports heavy fire showing from a 1-story auto repair shop.  Engine 6 positions on the “Bravo” side of the building and stretches one hand line.  Truck 2 positions in front of the building and fly the bucket to the roof. 

Engine 4 is dispatched as the FAST company on the working fire signal. 

The sign on top of the building is well-involved and firefighters work quick to keep the fire from extending into the cockloft.  Battalion 4 arrives and transmits the second alarm.  The 2nd alarm consists of  Engine 14, 10, Car 40, 46 and 48.  Truck 1 (E11) is special-called.

From Frank Warner at The Morning Call:

The fire was reported at 10:30 p.m. at the 560 Union Blvd. business, across the street from an LSI Corp. building and Coca-Cola Park.

The city Fire Department called a second alarm at 10:47 p.m., bringing out more firetrucks.

“The fire got up in the roof and started to run on us with the winds tonight,” said city fire Lt. Jack Bryant. “So we needed to get ahead of it, mostly as a precaution.”
