stoughton trailers, stoughton
As personnel attempted to repair a semi-trailer door brace
in a spray booth, a torch they were using created a spark
or ember that ignited either filters or residue inside the
ducts.
The Stoughton Fire Department responded
to the call at 4:18 a.m. By the time firefighters arrived,
two sprinklers inside the booth and one above it extinguished
the blaze. Deputy Chief and Fire Marshal Scott Wegner said, “Firefighters
just had to spray 50 gallons of water to extinguish debris
on top of the spray booth.” All fire units returned
to quarters by 5:45 a.m.
After the activated sprinklers were replaced and repairs
were made to the booth, operations continued by about noon
the same day. No damage occurred to the 386,000 sq. ft. building.
