No one was injured in the blaze, Chief Patrick Trentacost said.
Firefighters responded to a paper recycling factory on 7th Street at approximately 6:30 p.m., Trentacost said, and found the fire burning in the middle of the structure. ...A “mechanical issue” caused a “malfunction” on a ladder truck, Trentacost said.
