Crown Equipment scene of weekend fire

A Greencastle business was the scene of an early morning fire Sunday as firefighters from Greencastle and Cloverdale put the fire out in a little over an hour. 

 

At 2:27 a.m. on May 7, Greencastle's C-shift was called to Crown Equipment, an industrial equipment supplier, for a report of a fire. By 3 a.m., the fire was under control, as an electrical box near the ceiling was on fire. 

 

A ladder truck was used to access the electrical box and a dry chemical extinguisher was used to put the fire out. Gas and power to the electrical box was secured, and an exhaust system in the building was used to remove smoke from the building. 

 

According to the run report, the box on fire was an industrial humidifier that had an electrical issue, causing the fire. 

 

Both Greencastle and Cloverdale firefighters were released from the scene at 3:58 a.m.
