By Thursday afternoon, more than 250 firefighters had been involved in efforts to contain the blaze.The blaze likely started with a car fire Wednesday afternoon inside a body shop in the former Burry Biscuits warehouse, which is now divided into a number of smaller businesses, Vitullo said.here is a brief history of the building The building was latest subdivided into many small businesses and storage uses. Before that, it had been the Burry Biscuit factory The real history began when the building was first built. In 1917, Fred Duesenberg built an assembly plant in Elizabeth, N.J. The plant was not successful and was soon taken over by John N. Willys of the Willys-Overland Company. Millions were poured into this plant and it was considered to be one of the largest and most modern assembly plants in the country.In 1934, the Burry Biscuit Company took over the building and it became the company's home office. This ran as a successful business for many years.Sad that such an important part of automotive history is forever destroyed and hardly even mentioned in the many news articles of this massive fire. i found this on my old cell phone enjoy
