GEORGETOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Smoke and flames at Nu Wool sent employees spilling out into the night as firefighters work to put it out.
Ottawa County Dispatch told FOX 17 fire at the insulation manufacturer on Port Sheldon St just north of Chicago Dr was called in around 2:30 a.m.
When we spoke with Georgetown Fire Chief, Matt DeWitt, he told us the main fire did spread —and took a couple of hours to knock down— but most of the attack consisted of chasing hotspots throughout the building.
No one was hurt, but the damage is significant and the cause is still under investigation.
In a statement to FOX 17, Nu-Wool President Matt Henderson says the damage was limited to a section of the building that houses sister company CMS. The Nu Wool portion of the space was not harmed in the fire.
Ottawa County Emergency Management thanked several area restaurants who supplied food and drink to the crews battling the fire, including Mr. Burger, Subway, McDonald's, Sprinkles Donut Shop, and Big Apple Bagel.
