Heat Lamp Caused Bristol Shed Fire: Marshal

BRISTOL TOWNSHIP, PA — The fire that burned down a shed in Bristol Township this week was caused by a heat lamp, according to the fire marshal.

Kevin Dippolito, fire marshal and emergency management director for Bristol Township, said Saturday morning that he'd determined the lamp caused the Wednesday blaze. The shed, in the 1200 block of 2nd Avenue, was destroyed in the fire, which broke out around 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday.

Fire companies from Croydon, Third District and Newportville responded to the fire, which also damaged a neighbor's shed. No one was injured in the fire, Dippolito said.
