Residents asked to evacuate after fiberglass plant fire in northwest Minn.

WARREN, Minn.-A fire at the Nordic Fiberglass facility in Warren prompted nearby residents to evacuate their homes Wednesday night.

Marshall County dispatchers received a call about 6:45 p.m. reporting a fire at Nordic Fiberglass on the west side of Warren, according to a report from KTRF Radio. The Marshall County Sheriff's Office asked residents living within a one-block radius to leave their homes and find alternative housing for the night. It's unknown what caused the fire to start, but the blaze caused significant damage to the facility, according to KTRF.

It's uncertain how many residents were displaced or when they will be allowed to return to their homes.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Nordic Fiberglass first opened a facility in 1970 in Devils Lake, North Dakota, according to its website. The company opened a second branch in 1986 in Warren, where it is now headquartered. The manufacturer produces fiberglass products for the electrical industry. That includes box pads for transformers, oil-filled switchgear, ground sleeves for sectionalized cabinets and other products.

Nordic Fiberglass' general manager was not immediately available for comment Thursday morning.
