West Haven 2nd alarm 35 Industry Dr. commercial building fire

12/07/2007 - The West Haven ERS received a report of a commercial building fire located in the Allingtown section of the city. First due Tower 1 arrived to find heavy smoke showing from a food distribution warehouse. A second alarm was transmitted. An interior attack was initiated with multiple hand lines. Interior crews encountered heavy fire conditions with zero visibility as trucks opened up. Heavy smoke billowed from the large warehouse as temperatures fell and a light snowfall made for less than optimal firefighting conditions. The fire took about and hour to bring under control with the use of five engine companies, two trucks and two rescues. Firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading to an attached two story warehouse. The cause of the fire is under investigation by the fire marshals office. No injuries were reported.
