"It was a total loss," said Jeff Bealer, Boyertown Fire & Rescue public information officer.
Shortly after 1 p.m., fire crews from Berks and Montgomery counties arrived at 1251 Reading Ave. (Route 562) to find the garage was completely engulfed, and crews went into defensive mode to protect surrounding structures, said Bealer in a release.

A pickup truck and lawn tractors were involved, as well as propane tanks and other cylinders in the garage that exploded every so often causing a threat to firefighters, he said.
The garage was an oversized single car two story structure and the top story collapsed into the exterior walls soon after crews arrived.
