ARNOLD, Mo. – Several crews worked to put out a large industrial fire in Arnold Wednesday morning. The fire sent a huge billow of smoke into the sky.
The call came in at about 3:00 a.m. for a structure fire off of Tenbrook Industrial Court when a worker noticed fire inside machinery. The building is a Metal Container Corporation facility that creates Anheuser-Busch cans.
Fire crews said it took them about two hours to put out the fire.
Fire Chief Jeff Broombaugh with Rock Community Fire told FOX 2 that the company improvements from two years ago made fighting this fire easier. Two years ago the building caught fire twice in less than a month, a furnace was blamed for the blaze.
UPDATE: We just interviewed Fire Chief Jeff Broombaugh. Here’s what we know.
• Worker noticed fire inside machinery at 3 a.m.
• Crews found fire in piece of machinery; haze inside
• No injuries
• Company improvements from 2 years ago made this time easier @FOX2now pic.twitter.com/mpXDp0wksl

Two years ago, a furnace was blamed for the blaze in both instances. It very well could be the same situation here.@FOX2now is still working to gather more details on the fire this morning.
