A steel plant in Louisville’s Riverport industrial area will be closed for an indefinite period of time after a fire Thursday morning.
The crews were called around 6:30 a.m. to the Nucor Tubular Products warehouse on Logistics Drive off Cane Run Road near Pleasure Ridge Park.
PRP Fire Protection District Chief Jason Meiman said when crews arrived, they found a fire in the duct work and bag area in the building, which holds fumes created from production.
Fire crews stayed on scene to monitor the site for much of Thursday. The health department and a hazardous materials team was also on site along with ventilation trucks.
Investigators have not determined the cause of the fire. A Nucor spokesperson said there were no injuries.
The Nucor Tubular Products manufactures advanced conduits, which are steel pipes used in a variety of applications.
