"Barrel Factory" Fire - September 1969
A fire broke out at the Kohnen-Lammers
Inc. chemical company, located at the intersection of Grange Hall and Patterson roads. The company bought and sold flammable
chemical solvents from 1953-1969. Contaminated barrels were cleaned for reuse.The fire occurred when dock workers were moving
chemicals from one barrel to another. The firefighters that responded to the fire (volunteer) encountered water shortages
which led to the fire becoming a blazing inferno.
