The IEI warehouse caught fire about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Plastics were stored in the building, but officials still do not have a detailed account of items which may have been destroyed in the fire.

During a press briefing this morning, Lawrence Messina, director of communications for the West Virginia Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety, said the documents, also known as MSDS, have not been released because officials fear the information is inaccurate.

Messina said officials believe paperwork which would have given a more accurate account of what was stored in the building likely was lost in the fire. Messina said officials are in contact with the owner of IEI and working to assess the contents of the building.

Air quality monitoring is being done at 20 locations around the plant site and officials hope to post results online today.
