Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!
We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

The fire was first discovered by a passerby, who alerted emergency services. The Hagerstown Fire Department responded promptly with six firefighters arriving on the scene. Upon arrival, the fire had already been extinguished, and no additional fire suppression was required. There were no reported injuries or fatalities resulting from the incident.
The area of origin has been identified as the exterior of the vehicle, specifically at the gas fill inlet. Preliminary investigations by fire officials suggest that the fire was incendiary in nature, caused by an open flame introduced to combustible material inserted into the gas fill inlet.
