Employees at Loewen in Steinbach called 911 shortly after 9:00 Friday morning due to a piece of machinery on fire.

Steinbach Fire Chief Kel Toews says employees were able to extinguish the fire before crews arrived, and calling emergency services was the right thing to do.

Toews adds crews investigated and checked the area with a thermal imager to make sure no hot spots remained.

There were no injuries.
