A light haze continued to blanket parts of Greenville after a large industrial fire Wednesday morning. Multiple fire crews were called about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to the commercial structure fire in the 200 block of Old Bleachery Road, according to the Piedmont Park Fire Department.

When crews arrived, they said they found a significant grass and commercial building fire. Crews contained the fire and were working to extinguish remaining hot spots.

They said a light haze was present in the immediate area [Sans Souci & Cherrydale areas] and could affect driving conditions and outdoor activities. A person who lives in the area said on Facebook that she was told to get ready to evacuate by the sheriff’s office.

“We were knocked on our door by sheriff’s office at 3:30 am and told to get ready to evacuate because of the fire. We cannot even see (block over from fire) and soot all over my white car. They said to avoid cedar lane and blue ridge drive at Swamp Rabbit Trail if possible.”
