By Bert Gambini

Buffalo, NY – Firefighters in Buffalo had to return to a Howard Street factory to knock-down a stubborn blaze that reignited during the overnight hours.

The first fire at the Unicell Body Corpartion started around 7 o'clock Monday night at 571 Howard Street. The fire was under control in a couple of hours, but crews responded to a second call Monday night at the same location.

Neither the initial cause nor what caused the first fire to re-ignite is known at this time. Unicell manufacturers fiberglass truck bodies. Damage is estimated at more than $1 million.
