Massive fire burns at Pennsylvania warehouse

Firefighters are continuing to battle a 4-alarm fire at a warehouse in Montgomery County.

The fire started at 9:43 p.m. Monday at SPS Technologies on 301 Highland Ave in Jenkintown.

Abington Township Police have announced a shelter in place due to heavy smoke and dangerous air quality concerns.

Abington Commissioner Jeffrey Browne posted a statement on Facebook saying,” If you haven’t heard already, there’s a huge fire at SPS Technologies on Highland Ave. I’m sure all of our local Abington Fire Companies are on call including Edge Hill Fire Company. Please keep all of our brave first responders as well as any employees that were in the building in your thoughts and prayers and please avoid the area!!”

Due to the dangerous air quality, the Abington School District, Jenkintown School District, and all private and parochial schools will be closed on Tuesday.

Residents in the area should also be aware of SEPTA delays on the Doylestown and Warminster regional rail lines.

Crews are still on scene and the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
