RIVERSIDE --

Cincinnati firefighters needed almost an hour to deal with burning oil at a Riverside plant on Tuesday morning.

Capt. Michael Washington said that 911 received multiple calls reporting a building fire at the Kinder-Morgan Terminals just after 7 a.m.

Washington said fire crews found heavy smoke coming from a pump building when they arrived.

The fire was being fueled by a flammable cooling oil. Firefighters used foam to battle the fire while workers shut down the oil supply line.

Washington said the building suffered extensive damage, estimated at $200,000.

No injuries were reported.
