CEDAR CITY — Several fire departments responded to a massive fire at a manufacturing plant Monday morning.
The Cedar City Fire Department said crews responded to the Nurico LLC building at 821 E. 11000 North in Cedar City. When first responders arrived, crews reported that the three-story facility was fully engulfed in flames and covered in heavy smoke.
A plume of smoke was seen from the traffic camera on E. Midvalley Road and 4800 North in Enoch.
“The Cedar City Fire Department requested additional help from the Kanarraville Fire Department, Paragonah Fire Department, and Parowan Fire Department,” the department said in a Facebook post. “There was a total of 28 personnel on the scene.”
The Iron County Sheriff’s Office said no hazardous materials were in the building, which allowed fire crews to focus on extinguishing the fire and preventing it from spreading to a nearby drying tower and another warehouse.
“Employees reported that the fire was initiated on the northwest side of the building, following a loud popping sound before flames became visible,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
The office said no one was inside the building when it caught fire. No injuries were reported.
The state Fire Marshal has been notified of the fire and is expected to assist with investigating this fire.
