Fire causes $30,000 in damage at Hanes Dye and Finishing

A fire that started Friday night in the machinery at Hanes Dye and Finishing plant at 600 W. Northwest Blvd. caused $30,000 in damage, authorities said Saturday. No injuries were reported.

The fire was caused by conducted heat in the plant’s operating equipment, said Division Chief Darryl Sawyer of the Winston-Salem Fire Department. Lint build-up in a tenter-frame machine was a factor, he said.

A total of 11 city fire trucks responded to the fire that began shortly after 9 p.m. Friday, authorities said. The fire moved into the ventilation ducks and onto the roof.
