TL Express fire

An investigation is continuing today into Saturday’s fire that destroyed TL Express (formerly E. Conrad Trucking) on Industrial Avenue within the Van Wert Industrial Park. Weather permitting, investigators from the State Fire Marshal’s office are expected to be in Van Wert today to look for evidence at the site of the fire, which was reported about 12:21 p.m. Saturday by a worker in an adjacent building. Van Wert firefighters were on the scene for several hours Saturday fighting the fire (click here for a brief video of the fire). (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
