Fire-Rescue units were sent to Weiss and Blachem lanes for a CSX train engine on fire Monday Dec. 14 at 9:22 a.m.
There was a good bit of confusion from the callers to 9-1-1 as to what was actually on fire and the location of the train.
The engineer stopped the train so the burning engine was at the end of Balchem Lane, which was easily accessible for fire apparatus. The tracks, however, are located next to the Balchem Chemical Plant.
The first truck located the CSX engine and directed other responding units to the correct location.
Balchem evacuated the plant.
