SWANTON, Ohio — A large fire is under control after flames broke out at a Swanton carpet manufacturer Friday morning.
The incident occurred at Scottdel Cushion, LLC on the 400 block of Church Street around 10:30 a.m.
At 5:30 p.m., fresh crews arrived to continue working on hot spots.
Due to the damage, part of the building is set to be demolished.
Becky Goble with Fulton County EMA said that while the cause of the fire is still unknown, the foam backing of the carpet is what was burning.
Only one welder and one maintenance man were working at the time of the incident. However, one of them had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
According to the Village of Swanton Facebook page, road closures should be expected in the area of Zeiter, Church and Hallettt. Residents are also warned that water pressure may be impacted due to the increase in demand of water at the scene.
Goble said that the Environment Protection Agency is monitoring the air quality in the area.
Several departments were called to help extinguish the flames, including Whitehouse, Delta, Swanton, Metamora and Waterville.
Fire crews are expected to remain on the scene most of the night.
