Firefighters To Monitor Hot Spots After Major Fire At Ochelata Wax Plant
Fire crews are keeping an eye on hot spots after a large fire burned for hours inside a wax plant in Washington County Friday.
Firefighters said this fire required a lot of extra effort and manpower.
The Washington County Fire Chief said fighting this fire wasn t easy because of all the wax inside the plant, the amount of water needed to put out the flames and making sure they could get inside the building safely.
Firefighters said, at one point, there were over three 20,000 tanks of wax exploding inside the building. Folks nearby said the building looked like a giant candle while it burned.
