CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A small fire was reported at the Trane factory in Clarksville Thursday morning.
Clarksville Fire Marshal Ray Williams said the fire was under control within ten minutes of firefighters’ arrival. The call was reported sometime around 9:45 a.m.
Williams said a smoke extraction system known as a ‘small hog’ caught fire in the production area. All employees were evacuated and no injuries were reported.
The extent of the damage has not yet been determined.
Trane may close temporarily, at least for the first shift of the day, to allow firefighters to clear the smoke from the building.
