Flames destroy part of softball field in Luzerne County

The flames broke out at the Holy Redeemer softball field around 9:30 p.m. Thursday.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Flames damaged a local softball team field Thursday night in Luzerne County.

The concession stands, and storage area was damaged at the Holy Redeemer Softball Field along Wilkes Lane. 

Crews were called to a reported structure fire around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday.

"I couldn't believe it; you know we've been here since 2014. It's a great field. We put a lot of time in here and within, as you could see, within probably a couple of minutes, half hour or so its devastating to hear that the clubhouse went down," said John Bryan, Holy Redeemer Softball Asst. Coach.

According to a gofundme, the team lost everything, including their jerseys, nets, and other equipment.
