Emporia Fire handled a dumpster fire at a business in southeast Emporia early Saturday.
Fire crews were called to Thermal Ceramics, 221 Weaver, around 5:30 am and had the situation under control shortly after they arrived on scene. There was some smoldering but no sign of actual fire, according to Battalion Chief Eron Steinlage. The cause has not been determined.
Thermal Ceramics was the site of a reported fire and explosions July 15. Small fires were reported after issues with the facility’s fiberglass vat, but the reports of explosions turned out to be unfounded.
