Fire crews from Carbon and Schuylkill counties responded to a dwelling fire at a commercial property in Coaldale on Tuesday evening.

Scanner calls reported that the fire started in the basement area of the former St. Mary of Assumption Roman Catholic Church, 225 Second St., which was sold by the Allentown Diocese in 2015, according to Schuylkill property records. The structure is now a commercial property, Coaldale fire Chief Steven Polischak said.

When crews arrived shortly after 6 p.m., smoke was visible from the basement area of the structure, which was not occupied at the time. Crews worked from both First and Second streets to gain entry to the large structure via windows and doors.

Polischak said that crews evacuated residents from an adjacent apartment building as a precaution.

The fire is being listed as accidental, he said, noting that the owner’s insurance company will determine whether the building is a total loss.

Fire crews from Summit Hill, Lansford, Nesquehoning, Tamaqua and Pottsville, as well as Lehighton and Tamaqua ambulance services, assisted Coaldale at the scene. In addition, Lehighton Fire Department staged at Nesquehoning during the response.

“I want to thank all the firemen that came to assist,” Polischak said of the response. “It was a team effort.”

Any place where the 'public' is allowed to 'voice their opinion' online , whether it be Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , or local news sites like this one , you see ridiculous , obnoxious , ignorant , irrational , unreasonable , distorted , twisted , illogical , comments from way too many in our society. It's been a bit disappointing , over the years , ever since the internet came into play , to come and realize there's so many whackos out there. Most of these individuals never had anyone to talk to because of their distorted ignorance , but now get a chance to use these sites as their own personal platform to express their hate , bitterness , anger , and twisted views of the world as we know it. Common sense is rare with so many of these individuals. They use these sites to lash out at others , to 'get even' with society because of their pathetic lives. I've closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I will leave this site soon. I'm not here to be exposed to these sort of people. I come to have an intelligent conversation but that's virtually impossible because these sites have been hijacked by losers , loners , viscious individuals who finally found a way to be heard. Well they will not be heard from me. All good people should leave these sites and let all the losers have their irrational debates with each other. Let the blind lead the blind ..... and they'll all fall in the ditch. These people cannot be 'fixed'. They are who they are. They have about as much 'class' as a closed-down school house. I refuse to spend my time , my life , anywhere near bad people. And yes , they are bad people. The internet has opened my eyes to all the ignorance. You always knew it was out there , and now you get to see it up close and personal. This is not for me. I will never waste my time arguing with a fool that lacks common sense. Get help to get peace.
