Greyhound Bus Fire
Herndon, PA
January 22, 1953
At 8:30 a.m. on January 22, 1953, a Greyhound bus was en route to Sunbury via Route 147. The bus' air brake mechanism caught fire, and the bus stopped just north of Herndon. The Herndon Fire Company responded and used chemicals to extinguish the fire. Two fire companies from Sunbury were called, however they weren't needed. The bus was delayed for about 25 minutes, but was able to continue on its way under its own power. |
