TRENTON – The Case Pork Roll factory in Trenton was badly damaged in a three-alarm blaze this morning, though no injuries have been reported, police said.

The fire began around 7:30 a.m. at the landmark factory in the Chambersburg section of the city and was declared under control around two hours later, said Officer Pete Szpakowski, a Trenton police spokesman.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The production facility at 644 Washington Street produces the signature hickory-smoked pork based on the recipe developed in 1870 by George Washington Case, a Belle Mead farmer and butcher.

Case Pork Roll is a rival of the Taylor pork roll recipe, which often is referred to as Taylor Ham.
