HFD responds to Tuesday fire in Industrial Park

The Hopkinsville Fire Department responded to an exhaust system fire at a factory in Industrial Park yesterday.

The report says eight trucks and 16 fire-fighters responded to Martinrea on Frank Yost Lane just after 4pm, where a welding torch apparently set the dust collector on fire.

Fire-fighters used a combination of their own equipment and equipment on hand at the factory to put the blaze out rather quickly and every unit was gone within two hours.

No damages are noted to the facility or contents on the report.
