Commercial Fire At East Windsor Industrial Park Quickly Extinguished

EAST WINDSOR, CT — Firefighters took about 40 minutes to extinguish a blaze at a commercial building in the town's industrial park Thursday night.

Around 10:17 p.m., members of the Warehouse Point and Broad Brook fire departments were dispatched to an automatic fire alarm sprinkler activation at 8 Craftsman Road. NLR Recycling and Comfort Solutions are the two businesses which occupy the space, according to Warehouse Point Fire Chief Jim Barton.

A light smoke condition was discovered in one portion of the building, and following forcible entry into a second portion, firefighters encountered a heavy smoke condition and began searching for the fire, officials said.

The blaze resulted in little fire damage to the building. The cause was determined to be accidental, with the origin being a drum of lithium ion batteries staged to be recycled, fire officials said.
