Elyria – A fire inside of a trash compactor inside of Riddell All American Sports on Sugar Lane in Elyria sent smoke and employees from the building Saturday morning.

Elyria Firefighters arrived and found white smoke pouring from the building. They were told by plant personnel that the fire was contained to a compactor inside. Once Firefighters made their way inside they were quickly able to extinguish the blaze.

Employees, with borrowed chains from a local car dealer, attached the compactor to a pickup truck and pulled it away from the building. Firefighters then worked to ventilate the building of the smoke.

There were no injuries reported.
