Blaze destroys Airstream garage

JACKSON CENTER - The Airstream service center has been ruled a total loss, 
fire officials say, after a blaze struck the building Saturday afternoon.

Three Wapakoneta Fire Department firefighters with the department's ladder 
truck responded to Airstream's service center at about 1:30 p.m., along with 
Botkins, St. Johns and Shelby County fire departments, to assist the Jackson 
Center Fire Department with the blaze.

"When we got down there, what we did with the aerial was ventilate the 
building by getting up on top of the building and cutting holes in the roof 
to relieve the building of smoke and heat," said Dave Harrod, a member of 
the Wapakoneta crew sent to Jackson Center. "It was pretty extensive damage 
on the inside." 

Jackson Center Fire Chief Bruce Metz was unavailable for comment this 
morning.

Airstream employees helped ventilate the building and removed items from the 
service center garages Sunday afternoon. The service center area had several 
recreational vehicles in the bays at the time of the fire.

The manufacturing plant, which is a separate building, was not damaged in 
the fire.
