Fire damages complex housing Wright Brothers plane factory

DAYTON, Ohio — — An early morning fire damaged a commercial building complex housing a historic factory founded by the Wright Brothers in Ohio on Sunday, authorities said.

The Dayton Daily News reports that crews were still on the scene nearly 12 hours after the fire was reported. Black smoke continued to stream from a collection of multiple hangar buildings, including historic Wright Brothers airplane factory hangars, and flames could be seen on the backside of the hangars, the paper reported.

Mackensie Wittmer, executive director of the National Aviation Heritage Area, said in a Facebook post that the group was “deeply saddened by the fire that damaged our historic Wright Company airplane factory, the first-purpose built buildings for the aviation industry." Officials were working to assess the damage, Wittmer said.
