STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) — Production was temporarily halted at a Stevens Point business due to an early Monday morning fire. Firefighters were called to Worzalla Publishing on Jefferson Street at around 2:30 a.m.
The plant’s sprinkler system took care of most of the fire. The cause of the fire was an electric motor that failed and overheated, starting nearby paper on fire.
There was some water and smoke damage, but the plant was operational shortly after clean-up operations began. There were no injuries, and the staff was able to safely evacuate the building.
