Fire crews battle blaze at Edison plant
Six fire departments fought a late afternoon fire at the Ohio Edison plant on Lorain's lakefront near Oberlin and West Erie. The blaze started on the ground floor amid asbestos removal and spread up a conveyer belt to boiler rooms, with no active power generation. Firefighters controlled the flames in about 45 minutes, using tanker trucks and a county water shuttle, while residents observed from nearby streets.

The plan includes removing the 49th Street bridge, converting ramps at Midway Mall Boulevard and Griswold Road to traffic light controlled intersections, and shifting southern ramps to enter and exit I 90 farther north. Elyria Mayor Bill Grace supports the project to improve circulation and business access. Local officials note the improvement has been discussed since 2002 with ODOT spokesperson Brian Stacy emphasizing continued work on the problem.
