Fire erupts at SE OKC asphalt plant
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - The Oklahoma City Fire Department responded to an industrial fire at an asphalt plant on the city's southeast side Monday morning.
Fire crews were called to the TJ Campbell Construction Company near SE 59th and Sunnylane around 10 a.m. Monday.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they found a cluster of tanks pouring smoke.
Officials say 92 tons of liquid were in the affected containers.
The complex was evacuated as crews began to fight the flames.
It is unclear at this time how the fire started.
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued multiple citations to the TJ Campbell Construction Company in 2022 following an investigation into an 18-year-old worker's death after falling into a silo in 2021.
