The explosion occurred around 8:05 p.m. at the company's Faircrest plant. In a statement, the company said the explosion happened in an outdoor area managed by a contractor, Levy Company, which provides onsite slag management services. "TimkenSteel responders, supported by Perry Township Fire Department, were onsite and put out several spot fires which caused moderate damage to equipment outside the plant. A Levy employee was evaluated at the scene, but no treatment was needed. The situation is under control and the plant is still operating," the company said.
