Massive fire at aerospace factory in Pennsylvania: local schools closed.


A large fire broke out at an aerospace manufacturing facility near Philadelphia, USA. Schools were closed in connection with this incident, and local residents were ordered to evacuate. The investigation into the causes and consequences of the fire is ongoing. Fortunately, no one was injured.
The incident occurred at SPS Technologies, a company that develops, manufactures, and supplies aerospace fasteners and precision components.
Due to the spread of smoke and particulate matter in the air, all schools in the Abington and Jenkintown area, regardless of their ownership, were closed. Authorities also recommended that businesses within a mile radius of the fire remain closed until further information is provided.
Traffic on three regional railway lines was halted due to the fire.
This incident is not isolated. Recently in Poland, near Warsaw, a music club burned down during a charity concert, and firefighters were called to extinguish flames at a hotel-restaurant complex in Volyn.
