A large fire broke out at Koch Foods plant in Fairfield, Ohio early Sunday. The fire broke out at about 1:00AM and as of 4:00PM crews are still on scene battling the fire. The size of the building made fighting the fire difficult. The fire has been fought mostly defensively. Three people are reported as being injured and one employee is still unaccounted for. HazMat units were dispatched due to risk of an ammonia leak and a two-mile shelter-in-place was in effect for approx. 3 hours.
