Fire at two factories
One incident started at furnace; no injuries reported

HOWE, Ind. - Fire broke out at two factories Tuesday morning near the Indiana Toll Road.

One fire was at Keystone. Ron Fennell from the St. Joseph County Sheriff's Department said the fire started around 6:52 a.m.

"It was a small fire in the mill room at Keystone, caused by the furnace," Fennell said.

Another fire broke out down about a mile away at Iceberg, the distribution center for Penguin LLC on U.S. 12. The distribution center caught on fire shortly after the Keystone fire.

Tom Watkins, executive vice president/general manager of Penguin, said as soon as the call was made Howe, LaGrange, Fawn River Township, Sturgis, and Burr Oak fire departments showed up on the scene.

"All the fire departments responded well to the call," Watkins said.

The Little Tikes area of the building was damaged, but firefighters kept the west wing from being damaged, Watkins said. The fire departments had to open the roof for ventilation and most of the damage is from the water from the sprinkler system and the hoses. No one was hurt or injured.

The cause of fire at Iceberg could not be confirmed Tuesday.

The fire was caused by a gas leak in a furnace. The furnace had been repaired a couple days prior, but apparently it wasn't fixed all that well.

The warehouse had about five inches of standing water in it by the time the firefighter left. Considering the warehouse is several hundred thousand square feet, that's a lot of frickin' water!

I can't wait until the MSM picks this up...Rudy should just drop out now. I saw him on an interview yesterday and he was asked about the troubles he had. I know this guy, if he gets elected will be exactly like Bush. Because he said, "All is going as planned"....Ya sure it is big boy...go home and cry to your 3rd wife, second cousin.

I would get my ass out of the area. What was he going to do, carry firefighters out of the building? Also, I loves the MPAA. On a side note 44% is about the same as 15%, right?

He lied about what he did and he lied about what he didn't do. X

I've forever said there are things on Mars (and on the moon) that we were never given a fair chance (as the public) to look at. NASA being a govt agency doesn't help their case. Esp. with the release of poor video and blatant "touch ups" on Moon and Mars photos.

I couldn't say if this was anything but I know what would help...how about a maned mission to the place and the setting up of colonies? Ya know...try a new look. I'm not saying it has to be Star Trek...but at least let's be as cool as Babylon 5...maybe just without the Psi Corps govt overthrow and Mars declaring independence.
