Burning insulation in a tank used to hold cleaning solution was quickly smothered by crews from around the area Thursday.
Firefighters were dispatched to a business in the 2900 block of River Road in Bristol Township’s Croydon section around 4:45 p.m. Croydon Fire Company Chief Tom Tryon said the insulation, which was inside a building, was smoldering when units arrived.

The situation was quickly contained and there was little damage, Tryon said. No injuries were reported.
Troyon said a welder was installing a pipe on the tank where the fire occurred shortly before emergency crews were called.
The company where incident happened cleans tanker trucks. The trucks are often used to transport chemicals.
