VIDEO: A "large volume" of fire damaged four Union Terrace Elementary School mobile classrooms Monday evening.
Crews were called for the report of a structure fire on the 1900 block of Union Street in Allentown shortly after 6 p.m.
A large plume of smoke could be seen coming from the roofs of the classrooms. Allentown Fire Department Capt. John Christopher said most of the fire damage was in four mobile classrooms at the school. A wooden walkway used to get to the classrooms was also damaged.
"Basically it was contained to these portable units outback, what you would call pods, they each house two classrooms apiece. So four classrooms total, and you can see the wooden cover decking in between that was fully involved, it was a large volume of fire," Christopher said.
