Firefighters and the Clark County, Ohio Hazardous Materials Team responded to the Clark County Heritage Center at the 100 block of S. Fountain Avenue, according to a city of Springfield spokesperson. Crews discovered that a significantly deteriorated cellulose nitrate film was releasing gas associated with its decomposition.
