3/27/11 - Blackman Twp factory fire, Day 2

Sunday, March 27, 2011, day 2 of operations at the former Sparton Corporation factory fire. The Blackman-Leoni Township Department of Public Safety have been on the scene pumping water into the vacant buildings for over 14 hours. All mutual aid has been released and personnel are on scene trying to cool hot spots. All that is left standing is the now gutted three story office building. Even this late into the fire, walls that are now unsupported are still falling without firefighter intervention. The unseasonable cold temperatures have created art works of ice where firefighters were once spraying master streams to protect surrounding properties.
