Crews battled heavy smoke and flames in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, as a blaze was upgraded to 4-alarms.
Firefighters first responded to reports of a blaze in the warehouse of the Arrow Safety Device Co. on the 200 block of Holeman Street in Mount Holly, Burlington County, just after 3 a.m., officials said.
It took crews nearly four hours to get the fire under control.
No injuries have been reported.
Fire tore through an abandoned auto parts factory in Burlington County, New Jersey early Thursday morning.
According to their website the company consolidated in 2008 and moved out-of-state. What was left may have provided accelerants.
“The section that burned houses a machine shop,” said Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Gimeno. “It had all wood floors throughout soaked in oil through the years.”
