The incident also snarled some busy city traffic right around the rush hour.

Around 5:30 p.m. on Monday, crews from Pottsville, Minersville, Schuylkill Haven and surrounding communities were dispatched to 215 Mauch Chunk Street. That’s where they found heavy smoke coming from Miller’s Recondition Shop, an auto detailer business, among other services.
