On Wednesday afternoon, Florence Fire Rescue was called to address an industrial fire that erupted in the 3200 block of Roberson Road. The incident originated from a paper baler that caught fire within a facility, prompting an immediate response from emergency services.
Fire crews arrived at the scene shortly after 1:00 p.m. and quickly assessed the situation, discovering that the equipment was engulfed in flames. Demonstrating remarkable efficiency, the firefighters worked diligently to extinguish the fire, successfully confining the blaze to the paper baler itself. Their swift actions ensured that the surrounding structure sustained no damage.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries resulting from the incident, and the building remained intact, a testament to the effectiveness of the firefighters’ rapid response. As of now, the cause of the fire is still under investigation, with authorities working to determine the circumstances that led to this event.
