Fire Breaks Out At McKee Bakery Plant 2; Damages Listed At $15,000; Propane Tanks Were Near Blaze

  • Saturday, November 28, 2015

Fire broke out at a McKee Food plant at Collegedale on Saturday night.

At 6:45 p.m., an employee at McKee Foods called 911 reporting a fire at McKee Foods Plant 2 located at 10260 McKee Dr.

The Tri-Community Volunteer Fire Department responded and arrived at the scene reporting flames 15 feet high at one end of the building of Plant 2.

According to fire officials, a propane mixer unit used for baking, malfunctioned and caught fire.

Firefighters had to work quickly due to the fact that three 20,000-gallon propane tanks were about 30 feet from the fire. The fire was contained within 25 minutes.

Plant 2 employees evacuated the building without injuries. Damages are listed at $15,000.

The Tri-Community VFD requested a mutual aid response for additional units to stage at its Station 1 for additional emergency calls. These fire departments included the Cleveland Fire Department and Highway 58 VFD.

No injuries were reported but Hamilton County EMS was at the scene for any potential injuries to the firefighters.
