An investigation commenced after a series of vehicles, including police SUVs, erupted in flames outside of the McKeesport police station early Wednesday morning. The fires began just before 3:15 a.m., prompting police officers and firefighters to respond to the scene located in a parking lot off Lysle Boulevard utilized for city and police vehicles, as reported by CBS News.
Evidence gathering was conducted by the ATF and Allegheny County Fire Marshal's office, investigating a potential cause at the scene where vehicles burnt out, as detailed by WTAE. Burnt out in the lot, sources describe that at least four police vehicles were among those affected. Whether the fires were set intentionally remains unclear at this stage of the investigation.
A collective concern hangs amid the smoke's remnants, the community waits for answers to surface from the ashes of the early morning's unsettling event.
