Firefighters Tackle Blaze at Ohio Plant

A fire at a Sharonville plant was contained to an exhaust furnace, but still stopped work for a time on Monday night.

Firefighters were called to the Leggett and Platt facility on East Crescentville Road shortly before 7:30 p.m.

Flames were seen coming from the roof, and additional units were called from West Chester to assist.

After evacuating the workers, firefighters discovered the fire in the exhaust furnace and put it out within about 20 minutes.

No injuries were reported.
