Huge Business Fire in Bucks County ...

As I was driving to 'Giant' to do my afternoon grocery shopping I saw black smoke in the air: I didn't know it was going to be at the nearby shopping center down the road.

The roads were blocked so you couldn't go straight.

There were tons of fire trucks from all nearby communities and their tankers

Still after shopping, more smoke could be seen and more fire trucks were coming to help at the 'mold and dye' company on the 5100 block of Stump Rd. in Plumstead, Pa.

"PLUMSTEAD TWP., Pa. - June 29, 2010 (WPVI) -- A building that housed three businesses in Bucks County was destroyed by a four-alarm fire Tuesday.

The fire began just before 12:00 p.m. in the 5100 block of Stump Road in Plumstead Township.
The fire went to four alarms as firefighters from across Bucks and Montgomery counties and from as far away as Hunterdon County in New Jersey were called to the scene.
Large plumes of thick, black smoke rose high into the air.

Officials said the chemicals in the smoke were not harmful, but they urged residents to close their windows and shut off their air conditioner if the smoke was blowing in their direction.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, though the Action Cam did see some firefighters being treated "
