Sky force 10 over upper moreland, Montgomery County where you can see a fire is burning at a business on wyandotte road happening just right off the turnpike. Its affecting traffic at this hour. We understand people in this business have been evacuated, but so far there are no reports of injuries. We will continue to monitor this situation as fire crews are out here as you can see the smoke and flames captured by sky force 10. This is at wyandotte road. As for the type of business this is in upper moreland Montgomery County pennsylvania we are being told it is a sheet metal plant. Its now at three alarms which means that is an increased number of resources, the number of fire crews being sent to the scene as evidenced by all of the thick, black smoke and heavy flames that are so strong. Firefighters are out there trying to get a handle on it. Since weve been on this story and shown you these area photos from sky force 10 it doesnt seem that those flames are subsiding at all. You can see all of the crews and the people standing outside the businesses as well near those vehicles and the fire crews just out of curiosity of what caused this fire and the explosion that also preceded this. You can see the winds are actually affecting some of the fire. Theres been some evacuations, but again no one has been injured. You can see the fire crews approaching this business on wyandotte road. If we could bring in Sheena Parveen to tell us about the winds and how it might be affecting this fire at this time. So as far as the winds are concerned, when you look at this image and see the smoke blowing straight up and the black smoke. Were talking about winds that in this area dont look bad but we do have wind gusts around 20 miles an hour so theyre blowing to the eastsoutheast. So this would be blowing in the direction of lower Montgomery County, also in the direction of philadelphia and the direction of the i95 corridor. So that is where this black smoke is going to eventually travel. But again, it doesnt look extremely windy in this image of live video, but as far as the wind gusts being reported in Montgomery County and philadelphia, theyre traveling more toward the eastsoutheast so it is something well definitely be watching. But we do have pretty gusty conditions out there right now. Were also being told the name of this sheet metal planting on wyandotte road is trico Metal Products. We know that the plant has been evacuated. At this point there are no reported injuries which is good. The location 2300 block of wyandotte road. They believe there was an explosion that happened before this fire started, but at this early stage we dont know what contributed to that explosion. But fire crews desperately on the scene to try to get this under control. Fortunately, it is contained to that roof area. We can see that there are nearby businesses and possibly a residential area as well. Fortunately, it is not spreading to other businesses or homes in the area. I can see the heavy smoke and flames but it looks like it is contained to this trico Metal Products planting. It looks like it is in an Industrial Area. Weve got traffic on the turnpike moving along but right now we have smoke coming out from all parts of this building at this time. Sky force 10 takes a look on wyandotte road. Again, some evacuations here so no one is in the planting and so far there are no reports of injuries. Firefighters still remain as the fire has moved from a second alarm to third alarm. Meaning more resources are being put into fighting this blaze. It initially started from reports of an explosion. Sky force 10 can widen out and we can take a look at the traffic again because we know this is a heavily traveled area and take a look at the roads and people who are traveling home from work to get an idea. It doesnt look like any of that traffic has been stopped. It is slowing to some degree but the traffic is still moving there as this fire is attempting to be put out. Again, this happened just in the last 15 minutes or so. Sky force 10 getting on the scene. As you can see there is at least one ladder crew there trying to hose down the fire but right now its happening here at this sheet metal planted called trico in an Industrial Area and contained to this particular building where right now we are getting no reports of injuries. As you can see, this has been burning brightly as it has in the last 15 minutes. No slowing to the amount of flames and smoke shooting out of this plant right now. Were going to go now to sky force 10s dan, our pilot who is on the scene. Can you describe what you see, dan . Reporter yeah. What we see on scene here is the same thing that you are seeing on our video screen here. Some intense flames coming out of the back of the roof of the building here. It definitely has intensified since weve been on location. It seems that that whole back building is engulfed. As i pull out, you can even see smoke coming out of the front side of the building there as well so they havent been seeming to put too much water on the 1kbuilding. There have been a few crews on the back that seem to be trying to get some water on it but you do see that latter truck thats not shooting any water. As i pull out here you can see heavy black smoke in the area and you can also see that the pennsylvania turnpike right there, traffic is slowing down from people just viewing these massive flames coming from the building but there are no lanes that are shut down at this time. And we see a train traveling behind that as well. You are absolutely right, it is clearly intensifying in strength just in the time that weve had sky force 10 above getting these pictures. It is getting stronger. As you mentioned, the flames not only are shooting out from the roof of that building, from that planting plant, but you can see the flames coming out of the back of that as well. They are not able to get a handle on this at all. In fact just the opposite it is continuing to grow in strength. You also have to wonder if more crews will be arriving here on the scene. Weve got one ladder truck here and firefighters surrounding the plant, but you have to ask what are they able to do in terms of fighting it. What kind of product is in that plant which houses i guess Metal Products. Were taking a larger look from sky force 10 over the area this Industrial Area thats right off the turnpike here. But it looks like that fire as intense as it is is contained to that sheet product plant at this point. We see a second latter crew right there as we pull out. Firefighters working intensely on trying to get this fire out, but of course its grown and its moved now from the back of the building toward the middle of the building and continues to move. Right now i guess obviously having a difficult time trying to get this fire under control. Again this is the trico Metal Products. It is an established sheet metal fabricator with well over 50 Years Experience were being told in the fabricating industry. This is located in the 2300 block of wyandotte road in upper moreland, Montgomery County pennsylvania. Those flames continuing to get stronger as you see the water pouring on top of it in an attempt to contain it which is not happening. Again, no injuries as we are told at this point.
