MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Officials say it may take 24 hours to put out a fire that broke out overnight in a towering pile of junk cars at an Ohio scrap yard.

Early on, flames roared high into the sky from the fire reported around 1 a.m. Thursday at Milliron (MIL'-eye-urn) Industries in Mansfield in north-central Ohio. Firefighter Zach Gwirtz from nearby Shelby said the fire was in a stack of vehicles 30 feet high and about 200 yards around.

By midday, the pile was much lower to the ground but still flaming. Richland County emergency director Keith Markley says the smoke is going straight up and is not a health threat to the area.

At least one person has been hurt: a firefighter hospitalized for chest pains and dehydration.

The cause of the fire is unknown.Any information, please contact the Mansfield Police Department..For more Information on the article,Please visit Fox8.com for further reveiw,click on the link
