Flames could be seen bursting through the roof of a manufacturing company in Chester County on Tuesday morning as fire crews tackled a fire in West Fallowfield Township.
According to fire officials, crews responded to a fire at a building operated by Action Manufacturing Company on the 500 block of Bailey Crossroads Road in West Fallowfield Township at about 3:10 a.m. on Nov. 11 to find a fire at the facility with “multiple explosions.”
After reporting those explosions, additional support was sent to the incident at about 3:27 a.m., officials said.
A hazmat unit was also called to the scene as, fire officials said, hazardous materials were onsite at the facility.
After about an hour, officials said, crews were scaled back and a facility representative onsite determined the best course of action would be to let the building burn.
No injuries were reported in this incident and, officials said, crews cleared the scene by about 4:40 a.m.
Bailey Crossroads Road is shut down between Steelville and King roads as emergency crews continue their work.
Action Manufacturing Company makes fuses, electronic devices and custom energetics, according to the Chester County Department of Emergency Services.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing and there is no threat to the public at this time, officials said.
