Employees put out fire in Cheektowaga factory

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) — Four workers came together to douse a fire that started at a Cheektowaga sheet metal facility.
The Wednesday morning fire began when something went wrong with what Cheektowaga Police referred to as a “laser machine.” Aluminum and carbon caught fire, creating a hazmat situation.
Police briefly closed off Cayuga Rd. from Maryvale Dr. to Cleveland Dr. as fire crews rushed to the scene.
Although, when crews arrived, the fire was already out.
