Route 15 shut down when hay bales catch fire

Route 15 was closed in both directions for at least three hours from McDonald’s in South Williamsport to Route 54 in Clinton Township after this trailer, loaded with 291 bales of hay, caught fire south of the Lookout in Armstrong Township about 6:30 p.m. Sunday. “I just pulled over to check the straps securing the bales when I saw smoke,” Carl Farley, of Elimsport, who was pulling the trailer on his pickup truck, said. He quickly managed to unhook the trailer so that his truck was spared. The fire caused a considerable traffic jam. What caused the fire was unknown. The road reopened at 10 p.m.
