WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A fire has damaged a chemical plant in central Pennsylvania, but officials say the blaze posed no risk to the nearby community.
The Williamsport Sun-Gazette reports the fire broke out Sunday morning at the Lonza Inc. plant in Williamsport. The company says the fire started in a part of the facility that's a non-hazardous manufacturing area.
