Howe & Howe's Thermite® could have assisted in Elizabeth Park firefighting Operations
January 22, 2024
On Friday, January 5, more than 100 firefighters were called to respond to a four-alarm fire in New Jersey. A large industrial complex caught fire, setting several businesses and the surrounding landscape ablaze. At the scene, three roofs collapsed, forcing fire trucks to position a mutual aid collapsed zone. Inside the burning structure were toys, leading to many plastics and toxins being released into the air. In response to the toxins, local authorities delayed and canceled school to prevent students from breathing in those fumes. Ultimately, no individuals were in the building when the fire broke out and there have since been no reports of injury, but the sheer size and scale of the incident caused delays in the community’s schedule.
