TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police evacuated a half-mile radius around a facility on Enterprise Boulevard in north Toledo late Thursday night as fire crews battle an active fire surrounding hydrogen tanks into Friday.

Toledo Fire & Rescue crews are trying to cool the tanks at OneH2 Inc. and have an unmanned fire engine flowing water at the scene due to concerns about a potential explosion, according to TFRD spokesperson Pvt. Sheldon Collins.

Collins said the evacuation zone could potentially be expanded and urged the public to stay clear of the area.

Crews responded to the scene around 9:30 p.m. on Thursday.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Toledo police drones are also at the scene to track the situation from an aerial view.
