Fire crews are working to air out a large manufacturing building in the Foothills Industrial Park, after a morning fire.
Battalion Chief Alan Ball tells 660News, they were called to the Carpenter Canada Company building the 5800 block of 36 Street Southeast, just before 6 a.m.
“When crews arrived, they found a large industrial manufacturing facility with a significant amount of smoke coming from the rear of the building,” he said. “Because of the size of the building, and the amount of the smoke, our first in officers requested a second alarm.”
Ball says the fire was located in a hopper and quickly extinguished.
All employees of the building, which encompasses nearly a full city block, were safely removed and there were no injuries reported.
