Fire Strikes A & A Stairs

On September 14, 2004 at 10:30 a.m. firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire at A & A Stairs and Railing, 9523 Lincoln Way West, St. Thomas Township. An outdated exhaust fan in a paint booth caused a fire that did $50,000 in damages. The blaze was contained to the two back room housing wood and paint products. Firefighters from 15 companies had the blaze under control in just over 30 minutes. The article did not list the companies responding to the alarm so the only three I know that answered the call were the Franklin's, St. Thomas and the Vigilant Hose companies.
