Kimble Glass tank leak |
 Millville
Firefighters responded to a fire at Kimble Glass Company on 12-28. The
incident was turned in to Cumberland County 9-11 Center by a cell phone
caller driving by the plant on Wheaton Avenue.
Kimble spokesman Rick Hasenauer stated the leak resulted from a loose
electrode block in the tank. Firefighters applied large volumes of
water to help cool and solidify the glass. Smoke and steam rising from
the plant could be seen for miles.
At the height of the incident there were 8 fire apparatus and vehicles
including the first response by
Heavy Rescue 34
driven by Career Firefighter Chuck Seiferman, one of several firefighters
that responded to the second alarm. The incident lasted approximately
5 hours. See also

Each Year the Millville Fire
Department delivers more than a dozen Christmas baskets to widows of
deceased members. This year an additional basket was delivered to Wes
Thompson who lives next door to a house that suffered a major fire in
October. See "South
5th Street house fire"
../2005-11/november_2005.htm#South 5th St fireThe house involved in
the fire is owned by Wes Thompson's father. The basket was presented
with MFD's gratitude after Mr. Thompson spent hours during the early morning
incident serving coffee and his own homemade sweet potato pie to
firefighters who fought the fire.
