SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KSNW) — A roof fire at the Tyson Foods plant in South Hutchinson on Friday prompted a response by multiple fire departments.
A news release from the South Hutchinson Fire Department (SHFD) said at 6:53 p.m. on Friday, SHFD units were called to a roof fire. Upon arrival, units found flames and smoke coming from the roof of a large commercial building.
Crews began an aggressive attack, having to pull back multiple layers of roofing to get ahead of and stop the spread of the fire.

With a joint effort, crews contained and extinguished the fire. There were no reported injuries.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
