Boiler Issue Causes Smoke To Funnel From Bridgewater Elementary
An issue with one of the boilers caused large volumes of smoke to pour out of Bridgewater Elementary this evening. Crews with the Bridgewater Fire Department received the call shortly after 5pm of a possible chimney fire. But, members quickly realized a boiler wasn't firing correctly, causing smoke to funnel out of the school. Deputy Chief Andy Wentzell says they handled the situation quickly.
Wentzell says a technician solved the issue with the boiler. Roughly 20 firefighters were on the scene at the time. No one was injured.
