Fire broke out overnight at a longtime Delaware County scrap yard in the shadow of PPL.
Luckily no one was hurt in the Friday morning blaze at Ben and Sam’s Scrap yard along Yarnell Street near W 2nd Street in Chester, Pennsylvania. The yard is near the home of the Philadelphia Union.
Firefighters called a second alarm as they battled not only flames but rough terrain at the scrap yard that has been there for around 60 years.
