Doddridge County: Fire Incinerates 50 Scrap Cars at Salvage Yard

A salvage yard in Doddridge caught on fire when an employee was working on a car with a torch, and the sparks from the torch caused the fire.

It took the firefighters almost four hours on Tuesday to contain the fire at Nicholson’s Auto on Tarkiln Road in Doak, in Doddridge County.

The fire spread through a stack of cars, incinerating about 50 of them.

Firefighters from Salem, McClellan, Smithburg, West Union, and NutterFort fought the fire.
