Fatal Explosion At American Packaging

10/18/09 - One person was killed in an explosion at a printing company in downtown Columbus Sunday evening. Columbus Fire Department Public Information Officer Jared Fox says crews responded to American Packaging at 850 West James Street just after 6pm. He says the employee was killed as a result of an explosion in a cleaning unit by dock door number eleven. Fox says there is no immediate threat to the public but the Portage Level B HazMat team was called in to conduct an air quality test as a precaution. Columbus also received assistance from Beaver Dam and Fall River. The third shift has been cancelled and employees are being asked not to come in to work this evening.
