Saturday morning hazmat fire sends smoke plume over Port of Tacoma
A fire at a company that produces waterproofing products sent up a huge plume of smoke from the Port of Tacoma Saturday morning.
Tacoma Fire Department personnel were called to the scene just after 9:30 a.m. after a fire began burning inside a tank that held residual asphalt material, according to TFD spokesperson Chelsea Shepherd.
The fire, in the 2200 block of Taylor Way, necessitated a hazmat response, she said.
The fire was knocked down around 10:15 a.m. There were no injuries.
