Fire Erupts At Miamisburg Foundry

Authorities said two fire departments and crews from Dayton Power and Light were called to a fire at a Miamisburg foundry.

The fire happened around 10 p.m. Monday at Miami-Cast Inc., in the 900 block of North Main Street.

Workers casting iron at the foundry said a wooden mold broke and caught fire and then sent flames spreading to other molds.

Firefighters from Miamisburg and West Carrollton were dispatched, as well as crews from DP&L in order to cut power to the foundry.

Officials said by the time firefighters arrived at the scene, foundry workers had the fire mostly out with the use of extinguishers.

At this time, there is no word on how much damage was done. The foundry is expected to reopen on Tuesday morning.
