An engine block heater used for a diesel truck is to blame for a late-night fire in the Town of Gardner on Thursday. Members of the Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department responded to the blaze on Stevenson Pier Road just after 10 p.m. to see a vehicle and potentially a nearby sugar shack in flames. BUG Assistant Fire Chief Ryan Wery says the fire was kept to just the engine of the truck as their quick action was able to keep the cab of the vehicle safe other than smoke damage. Firefighters used approximately 500 gallons of water to put out the fire and they were able to leave the scene within an hour. Wery recommends using the proper extension cord and making sure it is in good shape if you use an electric engine block heater.
