It happened late last night at a warehouse on Highway 6 near Beechnut. Firefighters believe chemical and butane tanks fueled the flames, forcing emergency crews to issue a shelter in place. Power to many homes and businesses was also disconnected for safety reasons. Parts of Highway 6 were also blocked off.

HazMat tested the air and said it was safe. So far, there are no reports of any injuries.

The warehouse burned down but no one was injured. Arson is investigating.
