SAFETY HARBOR, FL - Safety Harbor Firefighters responded to a report of a car fire at a gas station on April 9th. Engine 52, first due, stretched a line but needed to set up foam to control the fire, as gas continued to leak on the ground. Assistance came from Clearwater Engine 49 just as the foam stopped the spread of fire.
