Firefighters Battle 2-Alarm Blaze At Ashland Fire Protection Company

ASHLAND (CBS) -- Firefighters battled a two-alarm blaze Monday morning at an Ashland business that coincidentally manufactures fire prevention equipment.

The fire broke out at Kidde-Fenwal on Main Street shortly before 9 a.m. Firefighters were able to put out the fire quickly, according to the Ashland Fire Department Twitter page.

It's unclear how many people were inside the building when the fire started. The cause and origin of the fire is currently unknown.

Kidde Fire Systems makes "intelligent smoke and heat detectors, conventional and networked system controls, and the largest portfolio of fire suppression agents in the industry," according to the company's website.
