JAMESTOWN, Pa. -- A fire at a munitions plant in northwestern Mercer County was extinguished in about an hour on Monday afternoon.
No one was injured in the blaze, at Combined Systems Inc., which makes tear gas and grenades.
Firefighters from more than seven companies, including those in Crawford County, responded, WYTV-TV of Youngstown, Ohio, reported. It said the plant evacuated all 200 of its employees for the day.
Officials were investigating the cause of the fire, the second at Combined Systems since November. A spark from a machine caused that blaze, which was in a different building than Monday's fire, officials said.
No one was injured in the November fire, which at the time was the third to occur at Combined Systems.
