(WPXI) – A massive fire broke out early Friday morning at a marina along the Monongahela River in Forward Township. Fire crews were called to McCrossin’s Landing along Edsel Lane a little after 1 a.m. after a CSX train crew spotted the fire and called 911. The fire quickly grew to two alarms and crews from neighboring Westmoreland and Washington counties were called in to assist. The assistant fire chief told Channel 11 that the marina had been closed for some time but the owner says he was planning to reopen. One firefighter suffered a minor injury due to a fall. They were checked out at the scene and are expected to be okay. The owner says he is offering a $5,000 reward for any information to any type of arrest in this situation. The Allegheny County Fire Marshal is investigating.
