The fire broke out after 10am at the shop on North Witter near Red Bluff.
Fire officials say it's an old reactor from a chemical plant and they say it caught fire when workers were trying to dismantle it using a torch.
A shelter-in-place was issued for half mile around the business but it has since been canceled. There are no reports of injuries.
