JOHNSTOWN, Ohio -- Flames were coming through the roof when fire crews arrived at a Johnstown business shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday.

NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS.

Several fire departments were called to Alliance Carpet Cushion at 143 Commerce Blvd. at about 5:24 a.m.

Employees were evacuated from the building.

The fire was contained within minutes.

An on-the-scene fire chief said the company typically has at least one fire per year because of the product manufactured there: carpet padding.

Apparently, recycled foam rubber is chopped and metal shavings end up in the mix. When the chopped foam is heated, the heated metal shavings and foam can create a spark.

No one was injured, and the building suffered some damage but was not destroyed.

Alliance Carpet Cushion officials declined to comment.
