A worker was hospitalized Monday following a machine fire at Honda’s Anna Engine Plant.

The fire broke out shortly after 11 a.m. in the aluminum machining area of the plant.

Honda spokesman Eric Mauk said the company’s internal fire response team quickly extinguished the fire and contained it to the machine involved.

Honda said there was no continuing risk to associates or plant operations following the incident. Production continued without interruption.

Anna Rescue Squad transported the injured worker to Wilson Health in Sidney. The worker was later flown by CareFlight to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.

The worker was reportedly treated after inhaling smoke. Additional information about the worker’s condition has not been released.

Mauk said he did not have information on whether the injured worker was a Honda associate or a contractor.

Honda also said no evacuation of the facility was necessary.

Mauk said he was unsure whether the Occupational Safety and Health Administration had been notified, but noted that OSHA is routinely notified following incidents at the facility, including some that do not require hospitalization.

Honda describes the Anna facility as its largest automobile engine plant in the world. The 2.8-million-square-foot plant employs more than 2,800 associates and has annual production capacity of approximately 1.18 million engines.

The plant produces four-cylinder, V-6 and turbocharged engines along with other engine components.

No additional information on the worker’s condition was available as of Tuesday.
