The demolition contractor in charge of bringing down the Killen Generating Station in Adams County was also involved in a fatal industrial accident at another Ohio power plant in 2015.
Kingfisher Development LLC, a subsidiary of St. Louis-based Commercial Liability Partners (CLP), in 2019 hired Adamo Demolition Co. out of Detroit to demolish the former coal-burning power plant near Manchester, Ohio. Search and rescue crews believe five Adamo workers were inside a building at the site when it came down around them unexpectedly Wednesday morning, according to Adams County Sheriff Kimmy Rogers.
