Crews battle fire at Brockport electronics recycling business
BROCKPORT, N.Y. — Several fire departments worked to put out a fire at the electronics recycling business Sunnking Sustainable Solutions in Brockport.
The three-alarm fire broke out around 5:35 p.m. on Monday. Firefighters arrived to heavy, black smoke. In addition to the flames, first responders had to battle high temperatures outside as well, something they prepare for.
“We have water to keep firefighters hydrated. They have timers on their airpacks and, when they time out on the airpack, they have to come out for a new bottle,” said Christopher Martin of the Brockport Fire District. “But they also have to get evaluated before they return to the fire so we take steps to ensure the health and wellness of our firefighters.”
The Monroe County Fire Bureau is still investigating the cause.
