WASHINGTON TWP., Montgomery County — Washington Twp. Fire Department has four engines fighting a fire at the U-Store-It, 435 Congress Park Drive.
Rich Palmer, Washington Twp. public information officer, said a call came in at 9:33 a.m. Friday, Oct. 23, reporting the fire. Firefighters arrived at 9:39 a.m., he said.
Palmer said the fire was sending up heavy smoke in the area. They’ve called the fire marshal in to investigate what might have started the fire and are trying to get in touch with the owner of the property.
Palmer said it appears some of the units on fire may be back-to-back, but he had just arrived at the fire and was still gathering information.
