On September 4, 2015, firefighters responded to this Bridgeport (CT) factory fire just after noon time and found numerous small fires throughout the structure.

They were back and hour later to find one section of the factory complex with heavy fire showing. Companies made an interior push, but had to back out because of water pressure issues.

The fire grew in intensity and a defensive operation was started. Six engines, two trucks, and the fireboat fought the fire for an hour an a half to bring it under control. This complex has been the scene of numerous fires over the years.
