Gas Station Fire Closes Mineral Spring Avenue

A gas station fire has led to the closure of Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, R.I., affecting traffic and potentially delaying school bus routes. Meanwhile, Route 422 in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, P.A., was closed for several hours due to a significant brush fire that began near Valley Lane and Bratton Drive. The fire, which produced heavy smoke, affected the eastbound lanes but has since been contained without any reported injuries. Crews from multiple counties, including areas within Valley Forge National Park, were involved in battling the brush fire. Investigations into the cause of both fires are ongoing. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes as authorities manage these situations.
