A huge fire broke out around 9:30 p.m. last Friday night at the west entrance to Middletown across from the Rt122 West Middletown Bridge.
70,000 SF warehouse on South Carmody Blvd. is still smoldering today as you can see from this video footage.
All three floors were fully engulfed and thick black smoke was billowing when the fire was reported
The building is owned by Whitt Machine Inc. and is located in the 800 block of Central Avenue. Not far from Bicentennial Commons in downtown Middletown.
Capt. Rick Trainer said the flames, some bright blue, reached about 2,000 degrees inside the structure, which was hot enough to melt and twist steel beams.
The cause of the blaze was undetermined.
Firefighters are asking for the public's help. Anyone who took photographs or videotaped the fire is asked to drop off film and footage. |
