BATH, Pa.-
Cub Scouts in Pack 55 got a real fright in their Halloween parade, and later an award from the mayor, when the flatbed truck they were riding on caught fire.
Mayor Betty Fields said Wednesday the parade had started normally Tuesday night and had gone about 500 yards.
“All of a sudden the back of the truck started on fire,” Fields said.
Fortunately, a parade means fire trucks. The Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Co., from Moore Township, was behind the Cub Scouts and quickly snuffed the flames.
Jason Harhart of the Klecknersville Rangers said it was unclear how the fire started. No injuries were reported. Fields said the parade continued on, and she gave the Cub Scouts a loyalty award for sticking with it.
