Posted

Suffolk Fire and Rescue crews put out a fire in the 1300 block of Progress Road at 7:48 Wednesday morning

There was a fire in a large hopper on the roof of the business.

Crews were able to put out the fire in an hour.

No one was in the building at the time. There was no damage to the structure on which the hopper was located crews say.

On-site work crews were in the process of cutting the hopper away from the structure in order to remove it from the roof.

Initial reports indicate that heat from a cutting torch may have ignited paper products inside the hopper.
