A massive fire broke out early Friday morning at Columbus Auto Shredding on Alum Creek Drive, engulfing a large outdoor pile of junk cars in flames.In response to the fire, police shut down parts of Alum Creek Drive from Winslow to Refugee Road, as well as Refugee Road at Route 104, to aid firefighting efforts.

And more than 12 hours later, at about 1:30 p.m., ABC 6's Nick Viland reported that the exit ramp on 104 South toward Interstate 71 is closed and causing delays. Viland also reported that Lockborne and Refugee roads are open to local-traffic only, and closed at Refugee and Refugee Park. A battalion chief from the fire department said fighting the flames will still take multiple hours. Firefighters who began working the fire initially have been switched out because of how long the fire already had been burning.Investigators said it could take days until a cause is determined, but added that the drought is not a factor, nor has air quality been compromised.
