A huge fire destroyed a section of General Electric’s facility in Kentucky on Friday, forcing it to temporarily suspend home-appliance production.
The fire broke out in Building 6 at General Electric industrial park in Louisville. The building was used as offices and storage of production parts, such as wiring harnesses and fans, Wall Street Journal reported.
At the height of the burning, people within 2-mile radius of the fire have been asked to shelter in place, according to USA Today. More than 200 firefighters were working to extinguish the fire.
General Electric said no one was injured in the blaze. The company said it will rebuild the parts that were destroyed in the blaze in a week, according to Wall Street Journal.
