More smoke than fire at Lebanon Seaboard site

Lebanon, Penn.—It was a case of more smoke than fire Thursday, Dec. 13, at one of the facilities located on the Lebanon Seaboard campus in South Lebanon Township, but fire companies turned out in strong numbers just to be on the safe side, according to a spokesman for the company. “It was more of a scare because of the smoke coming out in this one area,” he said. “We called the fire department just in case, and as it usually happens they responded in numbers just in case.” He added that the damage was minimal and will have no effect on the business. The facility, where fertilizer is packaged for the turf and garden market, is probably the largest part of Lebanon Seaboard, which of the company’s presence here includes the corporate headquarters, a manufacturing facility, and a state-of-the-art distribution center.
