Fire caused damage to the Stan’s Fries chip wagon in downtown Brantford on Thursday.
Brantford Fire deputy chief Scott Pipe said one of the chip wagon workers called 9-1-1 at 4:46 pm after exiting the premises, saying the building was smoking.
Fire crews had the blaze extinguished at 4:59 pm
Darling Street was closed to traffic between Market and Queen Streets for a short period of time.
Pipe said he was unsure as to the extent of the damage or how long the business would remain closed.
FIRE AT RECYCLING COMPANY
Firefighters were called to a recycling business at 40 Alice Street at 4:10 am on Friday.
Upon arrival, Pipe said crews could see sparks and flames shooting about 20 feet in the air from a pile of recycling materials.
“They got water on the fire very quickly, were very aggressive, and were able to contain the fire to a pile in the yard,” he said. “They had it under control at 5:18 pm”
The deputy chief said the fire is considered suspicious.
