Firefighters Extinguish Blaze At Montco Manufacturing Facility

SKIPPACK, PA — Fire crews descended upon Skippack Township earlier this week to put out a blaze at a manufacturing facility.

On Wednesday afternoon, emergency responders with Skippack Fire Company were dispatched to a fire call at Palmer International on Lucon Road, the department stated.

A second alarm was quickly called due to the size of the facility, the location of the fire, and the amount of work that was needed to extinguish all of the fire and conduct a check of the rest of the industrial facility, officials said.

It reportedly took fire crews around four-and-a-half hours to get the fire completely under control.

Skippack Fire Company said it was assisted at the scene by the following mutual aid partners: Perkiomen Township Fire Company, Lower Providence Fire Department, Harleysville Community Fire Company, Upper Providence Township Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Trappe Fire Company, Worcester Volunteer Fire Department, Upper Salford Fire Company, Lower Frederick Fire Company, Hatfield Volunteer Fire Company, Perseverance Volunteer Fire Company of Souderton, Towamencin Volunteer Fire Company, Skippack Emergency Medical Services, and Harleysville EMS.

Skippack officials also thanked Limerick Fire Department and Telford Fire Company for standing by and helping out at their station while they were out on the call.

Officials did not report any injuries to workers or firefighters.

The cause of the fire was not immediately divulged.
