Fire breaks out at Ideal Forging site just one day after demolition begins.
One day after demolition began on the old Ideal Forging site, the former factory fell victim to a second fire in as many months as firefighters battled flames inside the complex Wednesday evening.
Firefighters were called to the site around 7:30 p.m. with reports of smoke in the area and arrived to find flames showing from inside buildings as well as from the roof of a 150 by 40 foot building located inside the complex.
“Fire crews found a large number of pallets and bundles of cardboard burning inside the building,” said Captain John Folcik in a press release. “They were able to contain the flames quickly and extinguish the fire in just under two hours.”
Firefighters said the fire “appeared suspicious” but would not comment further.
