Engine 1-4 arrived on scene to find heavy smoke from the dust collector on the east side of the Gates Corporation. The box was upgraded to a machinery fire at the site. Squad crews checked and found no extension into the building. The dust collector had a check mechanism that contained the fire to the collector. Crews remained on scene for approximately one hour.
