I was at a music performance at the Dayton Masonic Center Sunday night when I noticed that my phone was notifying me of a call, followed by a message and several texts. I was prepared for a potential night of rough weather in the Miami Valley, but this was something different.
There was a giant fire at the Fuyao Glass America plant in Moraine and news team members were quickly being assembled for coverage. While traveling down I-75 after the event, I could see the flames from the interstate. I took this video (I was not the driver when this was taken).
The fire at the Fuyao Glass America plant produced flames Sunday night that could be seen for miles. We were on the scene for hours talking with officials.
Later in the week, after the Fuyao Glass America fire was thought to be extinguished, Environmental Protection Agency officials left Moraine.
“The Moraine Fire Division confirmed the fire is out and EPA has left the site,” David Shark, a spokesman for the U.S. EPA’s Chicago office said Wednesday.
“Air EPA air monitoring results overnight and this morning have been posted to our website. These results show no harmful levels of particulate or volatile organic compounds,” he said.
Final air sample results would be posted to an EPA website on the Fuyao fire once they have been analyzed, Shark said.
