Lansing Industrial Fire

Industrial Warehouse Fire

At 0206 Lansing Fire Department was dispatched to an automatic alarm at MPL Inc. located at 41 Dutch Mill Rd. Within ten minutes Lansing duty chief Darrell Rhoads arrived on scene in 1167 to find light smoke coming out of the eaves of the building. A second alarm was toned out, brining additional resources including an engine and an aerial from Cayuga Heights and one engine and an aerial from Ithaca Fire department. Firefighters worked for about an hour and a half extinguishing the fire and another hour checking the building. The building suffered heavy damage to the roof and the office space at the front of the building, but the manufacturing area did not appear to be affected.

Lansing firefighters remained at the building until 0930 with investigators from the Ithaca Fire Department, who determined that a malfunction in the building's furnace was the cause.

There was no one in the building when the fire started, and the building's fire protection system notified an alarm company who called the 911 center to report the fire.
