A class-action lawsuit was filed on behalf of residents impacted by the massive fire that broke out at SPS Technologies in Abington Township, Pennsylvania on Feb. 17, which closed schools, forced evacuations and disrupted SEPTA service in the area.

The four-alarm factory fire in Montgomery County that began with a series of explosions last Monday night — closing schools, halting SEPTA trains, triggering local evacuations, and prompting Abington officials to declare a disaster emergency — was finally extinguished at 3:53 p.

A group of attorneys have filed a class-action suit alleging that 'hundreds if not thousands of persons' have been impacted following a fire that destroyed an aerospace fastener factory in Abington Township.
