Franklin Township, PA – This morning at around 7:45 AM, firefighters from Franklin Township were dispatched to the area of 7030 Crane Road for a reported vehicle fire. Fire Police Unit 7201 arrived on scene and reported a vehicle fully involved, with heavy fire conditions present. Engine 735 responded to assist.
