FONTAINE FABRICATION FIRE

Haleyville firemen responded to a dust bin fire at 3:17 Wednesday inside the Fontaine Fabrication Plant located in the the Boartosh Industrial Park. Most dust bin fires are usually associated with wood dust, however the Fontaine dust bin collects dust from steel recovered from the cutting and fabrication of parts for trailers or other equipment. Presently the Haleyville

plant is making parts for use by the U.S. military. Fontaine officials praised the professionalism exhibited by the Haleyville firemen in quickly extinguishing the fire.
