SPS fire: Some Abington Township residents asked to voluntarily evacuate; shelter-in-place in effect

A four-alarm fire tore through an industrial complex in Abington Township, Pennsylvania on Monday night.

The shelter-in-place order initially was in effect until the incident was under control because smoke and particulates from the fire were filtering across the area, officials said. But residents and businesses in the immediate area near the plant - roughly 700 people - were asked to voluntarily evacuate late Tuesday afternoon "while conditions permit" because of concerns over air quality.
