BLAZING DUMPSTERS DAMAGE LOCAL
BUSINESS
(1/13/07 Montgomery Township) It was a close call in the early hours
of a Saturday morning after a passerby spotted two blazing dumpsters outside a
local wood manufacturing facility.
F.D.M.T. firefighters responded to Timberlane Woodcrafters on Domorah Drive just after midnight
January 13th when a
 passing
motorist spotted the burning dumpsters and called 9-1-1. Montgomery
Township Police arrived and reported that the dumpsters were located against the
building with possible extension inside in the area of the loading dock.
18 units arrived shortly after led by Squad
18, which immediately went into service with a handline and forced an entry door
adjacent to the loading dock to assess the interior. Crews from
Ladder 18, Engine 18-1, and Rescue 18 were also in service on the job.
Squad 18 made a quick knock on the blaze,
keeping damage isolated to the exterior. However, a
 heavy smoke condition
inside the facility kept crews busy with ventilation.
Joining Station 18 were units
from Station 7 (Wissahickon), Station 62 (North Penn), and Bucks County Station
19 (Doylestown)as the FAST team.
The cause of the fire remains under
investigation.
