HANOVER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Crews are responding to a working fire at a Hanover Township body shop, dispatchers said.
Butler County dispatchers said units from several cities and townships have responded to Rice Auto Body Shop for a reported fire that has impacted multiple cars. Videos show black smoke billowing above the body shop.
In a social media post Monday, Rice Auto Body confirmed a fire happened at the property and said everyone is safe.
"After 55 years in business, this is a tough day for our family and friends who are like our family," the post reads. "Many people showed up today without even being asked to help us in the most crucial moment."
The post said two out of five buildings were damaged in the fire.
"We are going to regroup, rebuild, stay strong and keep doing what we love... building and fixing cars!" the post reads.
