Fairfield Shoe Plant in Adams County Destroyed by Fire
The Fairfield Shoe Company plant in Fairfield Pennsylvania was leveled by a fire ten days ago with an official loss estimate of at least 750000. Fire officials previously put damages as high as 1500000. The company plans to rebuild at the same site if safety measures including ample water supply are ensured. Bruno Reedl secretary treasurer says payrolls were met and vacation pay will be issued. If rebuilt, operations could resume within about three months for some 400 workers. The fire marshal’s office deems the blaze accidental, not incendiary, likely started by dust pile compaction near a blower.
