Quick action by in-house firefighters contained a fire spreading in a factory Tuesday afternoon in Bagnoli di Sopra, Italy, according to a Facebook post by the city's mayor.

"Fortunately, the internal hydrant system and the action of the company's firefighting staff have contained the spreading fire and smoke," Roberto Milan wrote.

A rising column of smoke from the fire was visible for miles, he said. The burning plant is located in the town's industrial area.
