Akron fire gives update on Thursday's hazmat situation

Residents were able to return to their homes Thursday night after a large commercial fire prompted an emergency response and evacuation order in the city of Akron.
Firefighters were called to SMB Products on 1081 Rosemary Boulevard at approximately 1:12 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.
No injuries have been reported.
The city of Akron says fire and police evacuated a half-mile radius around the fire and asked people to avoid the area. "The building contains chemicals which are burning and creating an unsafe hazmat situation," city officials said in a release.
"Our primary concern is getting folks out of the evacuation zone because of the concern of fire and potential explosion," Akron Mayor Shammas Malik said during a late afternoon briefing. "There's not an air quality or chemical concern at this point for folks outside of the evacuation zone."

Just drove down Rosemary and they are still pouring water on it with a ladder truck. It's still billowing smoke. So Lots of lies.
