- Smoke billows from a Comfuel location in downtown Bowling Green on Wednesday afternoon in the wake of at least one explosion. Bowling Green Fire Department personnel are on the scene.
Thirteen units from the Bowling Green Fire Department responded to a fire at Valor Oil on Wednesday afternoon in the 400 block of Raven Ave.
Katie McKee, public information officer for the department, said no injuries are reported at this time and BGFD is not aware of anyone who was inside the building at the time of the fire.
The call came in at 3:27 p.m. McKee said personnel from BGFD’s hazardous materials teams are working to contain fuel runoff in the area. She said the teams are constructing a “pond” to keep fuel from running into storm drains.
Firefighters are currently working to bring the fire under control.
