Ashes covered windshields of DPW trucks and equipment inside the garage and the smoke and heat even caused damage to the vehicles.

“We have a couple of tractors that went up. My street sweeper does not look good at all, and a lot of pickup trucks with a lot of damage. The heat actually melted the beacon lights on the top and the tail lenses on the vehicles,” Hartford DPW Director Darryl Kranz said.

Kranz says the good news is no one was hurt, and they can still continue with city work without too much of a setback.

“We have to wait to release all of the equipment that we can work with, but it will be alright,” Kranz said.

With all of the equipment inside, things could have been a lot worse.

The damage to the garage and equipment inside, right now, is estimated close to a million dollars.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
