A transformer caught fire at U.S. Steel’s Midwest Plant in Portage, Ind., on Sunday.
The company’s fire response team worked with local fire crews to distinguish the blaze.
“We do not expect any production interruptions,” a spokesperson for the Pittsburgh-based steelmaker told SMU on Monday.
The incident did not cause any injuries. “Safety remains our top priority,” the spokesperson added.
Midwest Plant is a finishing facility at U.S. Steel’s integrated Gary Works. It operates two cold reduction mills and two galvanizing lines. It is also the only USS facility that still produces tin mill products.
