A fire at the old Pulaski Furniture plant Thursday night did minor damage to the boiler room building.

The Pulaski Fire Department responded to the building at around 9 p.m. and when they arrived, they observed flames coming from the roof and asked for additional help from Dublin and Newbern.

The fire department was afraid to put anyone on the roof due to the fact that workers have been cutting medal inside the building and they didn’t know if the building was structurally safe.

Two ladder trucks, one from Pulaski and one Dublin, responded to allow firefighters to get high enough to take a look at the roof.

The fire, which is believed to have started by a sparks smoldering from a worker’s torch earlier in the evening, did about $1,000 in damages.

More than 30 firefighters from Pulaski, Dublin and Newbern Fire Departments, along with five pieces of equipment responded to the call.

There was no reports of injuries.
