Steel Technologies is assessing the operational impact from a fire early Monday morning that knocked out power and damaged the pickle line and pickle bay at its Ghent, Ky., plant. No injuries were reported from the incident.
State and local officials have confirmed that chemicals used in production were contained in designated storage vessels, the company said. Slitting and warehousing bays and inventory suffered no damage.
