FIRE CONTAINED AT WINNEBAGO FACTORY
Associated Press
FOREST CITY, Iowa - Fire officials say a sprinkler system did its job in helping to contain a fire at the Winnebago Industries complex in Forest City.
The fire broke out Wednesday in a paint area of a building on the sprawling grounds of the motor home manufacturer. The building was evacuated and no one was hurt.
Fire Chief Mark Johnson says the fire could have been much worse if the building didn't have a sprinkler system. Firefighters brought the fire under control before it spread in the building filled with chemicals.
The cause remains under investigation.
