 Fire crews responded to a commercial structure fire Wednesday afternoon in McPherson, with no injuries reported and all personnel safely evacuated.

At approximately 3:52 p.m. on Wednesday, the McPherson Fire Department was dispatched to the 1400 block of 17th Avenue for a reported structure fire. The department responded with three engine companies and a command vehicle. The Galva Fire Department also assisted, responding with an engine company and a command vehicle.

Upon arrival, crews observed smoke coming from the commercial structure. Facility personnel had already evacuated the building. Firefighters initiated an interior attack and determined that a fiberglass production oven had overheated. The fire was contained primarily within the oven but had extended into the oven’s exhaust stack.

Crews were able to cool the oven, extinguish the fire within the exhaust stack, and prevent further spread. The oven was subsequently shut down by facility personnel.

The fire was determined to be accidental. No injuries were reported during the incident.
