MORAINE, Ohio (WDTN) — The DMAX plant in Moraine was evacuated due to a fire early Thursday morning.
According to Lt. Christ Lutz with the Moraine Fire Department, dispatch received a call around 2 a.m. for a possible explosion at the DMAX plant.
While crews were on their way to the plant, they were informed that the incident was actually smoking embers coming out of an exhaust vent. The fire had nearly extinguished itself by the time crews arrived on the scene.
