- Penn Hills - Structure Fire
Thompson Run Road
A 2 Alarm fire
broke out approx 10:15PM on Friday evening 11/18/2005 at the Pittsburgh Sign
Corporation along Thompson Run Rd near Frey Rd in Penn Hills. Firefighters had a tough time getting to the large work
studio having to access it from a Union Railroad right a way and having to temporarily
stop train traffic to stretch a 5" line across the Union Railroad tracks. All
that was left this morning was the front roll down garage door of the structure.
These pictures were taken from a distance with permission of the property owner
who asked all individuals to stay back from the scene due to hazardous conditions
within the yard area and pending insurance and fire marshal investigation of
the fire.
Pittsburgh Sign hopes to rebuild quickly and the
fire should
not put a major dent in their operations.
