US: The Oxford Fire Department responded to a minor fire on 22 September 2015 at the National Gypsum Company in Oxford, Michigan.
A call first came in about a fire in the plant's paper bale room around 11:15am from an employee at the plant, according to Oxford fire chief Gary Sparks. Firefighters were on scene within three minutes of the call, extinguished the fire and left the scene by 12:40, said Sparks.
It is unclear how the fire started, but the sprinkler system held the flames in check until responders arrived on the scene. "There was minimal damage," said Sparks. "The majority of it was to the paper bales, but there was some smoke damage in the office area." There were no injuries reported during the incident and the plant was expected to be up and running before the day ended.
