Cooperation among city departments brought an industrial fire under control and prevented a potential environmental disaster to the Maumee River, a local fire official said.
Water runoff from the fire early Friday at Franke Plating Works, 2109 E. Washington Blvd., threatened to enter downhill storm and sewer drains, but was stopped after crews plugged the drains with absorbent booms, Deputy Fire Chief Adam O Connor said.
