Fire crews and emergency management personnel worked through Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon to contain a massive fire at a tire warehouse and protect the area from any hazardous materials. Crews first responded at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to the Wholesale Tire Mart at 4954 Alert New London Road. The fire burned overnight and through most of Wednesday, and it caused smoke that could be seen for many miles.Christina Whitlock, who lives in the house next door to thebuilding, said she got home from work at around 8:30 p.m. to “all the mayhem.”“It was really scary,” she said. “The flames were huge and explosions that were happening were the most scary part.” The fire department let the fire go overnight to burn off the dangerous chemicals inside the building. Morgan Twp. Fire Chief Jeff Galloway was consulting with the Ohio EPA, a hazardous materials unit and others on the scene throughout the day Wednesday as crews tried to douse the flames without sending dangerous chemicals into the air.
