Fuyao Glass America Burns!

Fuyao America burns leaving Dayton, Ohio in shambles.

The Chinese glass maker Fuyao's U.S. Headquarters in Dayton, Ohio caught on fire.

The fire was a four alarm, which means likely devastating.

The Moraine Fire Department confirm that the Fuyao America Glass facility caught on fire Sunday afternoon. It opened in 2016 after it bought the old GM facility that shut down in 2008.

The fire could be seen from Dayton and as far a Miamisburg.

Fire Marshal Doug Hatcher said calls came in about a fire reported on the roof. 

As firefighters worked to put out the fire, the operation was temporarily suspended due to strong storms moving through the area. 

Firefighters had to wait for the storms to move past before they were able to put the fire out.

There were no injuries reported, and power has been shut off to both buildings in the complex. 

Investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire. 

Fuyao Glass America refers to the building that was on fire as a "coding factory." The company said some parts of the building are under construction, including some equipment that's being built.

Fuyao's American headquarters is located in Moraine.

The Moraine location was the company's first North American facility, which opened in 2016. 

The incident could put over 2,000 workers out of jobs. It could force Fuyao to relocate and consider the facility a total loss. It will be millions worth of damage.

If it involves infrastructure issues, the U.S. government gets involved. If its a human error or deliberate incident, the state and feds get involve.

Fuyao Glass America, located in Moraine, Ohio, is a major Chinese-owned automotive glass manufacturer facing ongoing federal investigations into allegations of financial crimes, labor exploitation, and unlawful employment practices. The plant, known for its massive scale and labor issues, was raided by federal agents in 2024.
