LEIPSIC, OH (WLIO) - A fire in Leipsic Wednesday afternoon brought in several departments.
The incident occurred in an alley behind an old pizza shop next door to the recently renovated Leipsic Community Center. Bystanders in the area heard loud noises from Lithium-ion batteries exploding from the back of a pickup truck, causing flames that took reinforcements from Ottawa, McComb, Miller City, and Leipsic working together to put out. Wednesday's hot weather did not help; two firefighters on the scene were treated for heat-related injuries.
