The fire departments worked into the early hours Wednesday to extinguish the blaze with foam trailers and multiple tanker trucks.
The report came in at around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday, and a fire department said it was a working fire when the crew arrived on the scene.
The fire prompted a second alert before 11:30 p.m.
Departments from Butler and Lawrence counties were included in the response. The Butler County HAZMAT team also responded to the fire.
