PLYMOUTH, Ind. (AP) - Firefighters decided to let a blaze burn itself out at an aluminum processing plant in northern Indiana.
Emergency crews were called Thursday night to the U.S. Granules plant in Plymouth, where a fire started in a shed and spread to the main building. No injuries were reported, but dozens of firefighters worked to contain the fire as they couldn't use water on it because of possible chemical reactions.
Fire Chief Andy Metsker says crews removed combustible items away from the fire and that it would burn itself out. The cause wasn't immediately known.
The company's Web site says the plant processes aluminum foil scrap into granules for industrial explosives, drain cleaners and other products.
