This morning at 7:00 AM, KVFD with mutual aid from surrounding fire companies was dispatched to a fire in the welding shop at Farm Bilt Machines on Quarry Road in West Sadsbury Township. The first arriving unit, Lanco Eng 42-1 reported fire through the roof.

As of 7:52 AM, firefighters were still on-scene. This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
During this fire, units also responded to a fire alarm at Home Depot [robably caused by the use of the nearby hydrant, and a fire alarm at Westminister Place.
