Around 2 p.m. Kettering firefighters responded to a fire at 3170 Valleywood Drive.
Crews arrived to heavy fire in a detached storage barn.
Firefighters immediately began defensive fire operations and are working to control any hotspots, Davenport said.
It’s not clear what is being stored in the barn, but there was some fertilizers which prompted the department to contact the Ohio EPA and Dayton Regional Hazmat. Davenport said there are no concerns regarding the fertilizers.
