[Woody]

On Thursday April 2 at 1915 hours, FDMJ was dispatched for an Automatic Fire Alarm at the Cargill Chocolate Factory on Chocolate Ave in Mount Joy Borough. Deputy 75 arrived with a moderate smoke condition and an unusual amount of smoke from a stack on the charlie side. Plant Employees advised they had an uncontrolled fire in a roaster oven and the plant was already evacuated. Deputy 75 established Command and filled out the box.
