Just before 10 a.m. Saturday morning firefighters from American Hose and East End fire companies were called to a report of a vehicle fire in the parking lot of the Boyer's Market in Tamaqua. The vehicle was engulfed with smoke when they arrived. Firefighters had the car lifted via tow truck to get a better angle under the engine compartment to extinguish the fire. The driver of the 1995 Subaru Impreza was traveling on Broad Street, Route 209, in Tamaqua when they saw heavy smoke and quickly pulled into the Boyer's parking lot. The totaled vehicle is owned by Thomas Heller and Nichole Beckett of Coaldale. A volunteer with the Tamaqua Volunteers group pointed out that the couple also lost their truck the day before due to transmission problems. No one was injured. Tamaqua Ambulance responded and the Tamaqua Fire Police controlled traffic around Boyer's for the duration.

Just wanted to thank the firefighters out there and thank god no one got hurt.I wonder if my friend Lisa was working,I'm trying to get in touch with her to get together,but all I know is that she is in Tamaqua ,Pa.I was wondering how her kids were doing,not Russ's kids but Lisa's.I heard that she abandoned both her daughter and son so I wanted to see how she was handling that,it must be horrible for her ,I mean being a mother and giving up your own kids just to be with a guy,whose mentality is that of a 10 yr old and use Lisa as a puppet.I always thought you could do better .Lisa please write back if you get wind of this comment I would really like to talk to you since it has been soo long.He even made you stop talking to your friends.So I hope a fellow firefighter gets this too and sends me her address so I can visit her.......Kara
