On Scene with Watertown Volunteer with a smoky structure fire at 20 McLennan Dr in the Oakville section of town. First due crews found heavy smoke coming from Quality Automatics Inc ,a machine shop located at that address. Crews immediately stretched lines and hit the hydrant at the end of the dead end street for an additional water source. Extension ladders were used to access the roof for ventilation since powerlines prevented the aerial ladders from being used. The fire was brought under control after approximately 30 minutes but required extensive overhaul and ventilation. In addition hazmat precautions had to be taken due to the lubricants and by products of the manufacturing process at the business were mixed with the water and foam used to extinguish the blaze.
