CANTON TOWNSHIP, Ohio - The Canton Township Fire Department crews battled a large fire Sunday morning.
Officials said the fire started around 7 a.m. in the 2700 block of Waynesburg Drive SE at the Cobra Roll-Off Service, which is a trash bin rental facility.
Multiple mutual aid fire departments responded and worked to put out the blaze.
At 11 a.m., officials said the blaze was extinguished, but crews were still on scene as a precautionary measure.
Local resident and NewsChannel5 viewer Ron Shaneyfelt Sr. said when the fire started, "It sounded like fireworks going off for about 15 minutes."
Shaneyfelt also said he found shell casings surrounding the outside of the building afterwards.
Fire department officials have not confirmed whether or not any ammunition was stored in the building.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
