Firefighters Put Down Bucks County Scrap Metal Fire

Posted: Updated:
MORRISVILLE, Pa. -

More than 120 firefighters from Pennsylvania and New Jersey are called in to battle a fire at a scrap metal plant in Bucks County.

The fire at the Simms Scrap Metal Plant in Morrisville started Tuesday afternoon. It took five hours before the blaze was brought under control.

The big challenge was water pressure. Dozens of tanker trucks had to pump from a nearby pond.

As fire crews were battling the blaze, they got another call for a fire just a couple hundred yards away.

The smoke stack on the roof of a steel separator machine was burning.

Luckily, since crews were nearby, and that second fire was quickly extinguished.
