YELLOW SPRINGS - Emergency crews were called to the scene of a fully-involved barn fire around 9:45 a.m. Thursday morning.

Miami Township Fire and Rescue, Hustead Fire, and Greene County Sheriffs responded to the blaze on Yellow Springs Fairfield Road, near the intersection of Snypp Road, just outside of Yellow Springs. The blaze was in a barn owned by Ralph Acton.

Acton says he had placed a smoke bomb inside the barn to combat a problem with raccoons. He noticed smoke coming out of the barn and attempted to put out the blaze with a fire extinguisher.

The Dayton Bomb Squad was called to Clark County Thursday morning.

A suspicious package was discovered around 7 a.m. near the Speedway/GasAmerica headquarters building in Enon.

Around 10:30 a.m. the bomb squad detonated the package. Authorities are not releasing information on what was inside.

Because the package was found on the road leading up to the building, employees arriving for work were stopped from entering. Police did not evacuate anyone already inside.

No injuries were reported.
