BEACON FALLS - Firefighters from several towns are battling a fire at an old meat packing plant on Rimmon Road Thursday morning.
Approximately three dozen fire personnel from Beacon Hose, Oxford, Seymour, Bethany, and Southbury are on scene between the fire and the tanker shuttle.
“Water supply has been a challenge with no hydrants in the area. Seven tankers and three portable ponds from six companies are shuttling water from a hydrant near Dollar General on Route 67 in Oxford,” the Beacon Hose Co. posted on its Facebook page.
The fire broke out shortly around 3:30 a.m.
Commuters should avoid Rimmon Hill between Back Rimmon Road and West Road until further notice.
Region 16 bus traffic will likely be rerouted.
The fire is located a short distance from Woodland Regional High School.
