Cause sought in blaze that destroyed plant in western Pa. Updated Dec 27, 2020; GIBSONIA, Pa. (AP) Scores of firefighters battled a blaze that destroyed a metal fabricating and recycling plant in western Pennsylvania over the weekend. Fire crews were called just after 6:30 a.m. Saturday to the TNT Metals plant in West Deer Township, Allegheny County. Chief Josh Wiegand of the West Deer Volunteer Fire Company No. 3 said arriving firefighters saw a lot of smoke and flames in the center of the 150-by-300-foot building. Wiegand said 50 to 60 firefighters from nine departments battled for almost three hours before bringing the blaze under control. He said they were hampered by the cold and by the materials involved, since the building housed magnesium and other highly flammable materials that ignited during the fire.
