The smoke reportedly got heavier near the Troy Elevator-Mennel commercial structure, and the Troy Fire Department was dispatched to the scene.
Lieutenant Slusher with the Miami County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that four fire departments responded. Those departments included Pleasant Hill, Covington, Piqua and Tipp City.
The fire was quickly brought under control by Troy firefighters and there were no reports of any injuries. Fire officials in Troy said it was a “labor-intensive fire,”
The cause of the smoke is still under investigation, but Lt. Slusher told News Center 7 that he does not believe it to be suspicious.
The elevator has been very busy the past few weeks as farmers are in the midst of harvesting their crops.
