MILTON Fire chief Nick Marique said improperly disposed fiberglass shavings and remnants started a fire at a local boat making company Monday night that destroyed a pair of boats.

Police, firefighters and emergency personnel responded at 11:36 p.m. after a fire alarm sounded at 11 Industrial Way home of Eastern Boats.

Marique said Deputy Fire Chief Jake Bourdeau who also works at Eastern Boats sounded a first alarm after smelling smoke at the facility. Due to the size and nature of the facility, he added it was upgraded to a second alarm to bring in additional manpower.

After the fire was stalled by the sprinkler system, Marique said firefighters were able to extinguish the remaining flames with a single hose. As a result, he added the second alarm was canceled and Somersworth firefighters were sent home.

Marique said local firefighters were assisted by counterparts from Farmington, Middleton, Rochester and Wakefield. He added paramedics from Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester also responded to the scene while firefighters from Lebanon, Maine, provided station coverage.

Marique said firefighters completed their investigation early Tuesday morning.

The cause is believed to be improperly disposed of industrial materials, Marique said, adding the owners have had this issue with fiberglass shavings before and plan to re-address it.

Bob Bourdeau, owner of Eastern Boats, said he arrived at the business just before firefighters arrived. He added the fire occurred in a large, enclosed work area separate from the rest of the business.

Eastern Boats, which has three buildings, has more than 30,000 square-feet of work space, which includes designated areas for fiberglass, assembly and rigging operations, according to the companys website.

Bourdeau said the separate layout was done by design, for safety purposes. He added the sprinkler system was able to prevent the fire from spreading further.

The sprinkler system didnt go on for the mattress-drying machine where the early morning fire started last week at the Latex Foam International factory in Shelton.

Firefighters at the scene of the Latex Foam International fire in Shelton on the morning of June 26.

What led to the spread of the fire was that the separate sprinkler system didnt activate, said Shelton Fire Marshal James Tortora. This was a secondary system just for that machine.

Tortora said the main buildings overall sprinkler system did work, and combined with firefighting efforts helped to ensure the fire didnt destroy the entire building. The fire did spread through the vent system onto the main factory floor and threaten the roof, before firefighters began pouring water on it from the outside.

The fire began just before 1 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, June 26 in the basement in the very rear of the main building at 510 River Road (Route 110).

Tortora was finally able to get inside the building on early Friday morning, after about 150,000 gallons of water were pumped out of the basement. The water came from firefighting hoses and the sprinkler system.

The damage was confined primarily to the drying machine, with some related heat damage to the area in the immediate vicinity, Tortora said.

There was no structural damage and the roof is secure, he said.

South Bend, Ind. An investigation is underway, into an overnight fire at the South Bend/St. Joseph County Building Department.

Crews were dispatched around 1:30 a.m. to the building at 125 South Lafayette.

Firefighters tell NewsCenter 16 the sprinkler system prevented a great deal of damage.

Crews were able to put out the rest of the flames quickly, but water continued to flow out of the building`s sprinkler system. So the water department was called in to shut the water off.

The sprinkler head was triggered by the fire in that office, said Capt. Christian Rose of the South Bend Fire Dept. And there was a broken window, so were unsure how that happened. So we called the fire investigators out to see whether or not arson was involved, or something else.

The office is open for business Monday.
