No injuries were reported after a small fire at the Jake's Fireworks corporate headquarters in Pittsburg, Kansas, Friday morning.
Officials say it happened around 10:30am when the company's alarm system went off and was able to alert staff to evacutate.
"Local fire and police departments responded quickly and were able to contain and extinguish the fire within a short period of time," said Chief Human Resources Officer Doug VanBecelaere. "The incident was isolated to the maintenance building located on the southeast corner of the warehouse property."
They closed the facility early but plan to reopen for normal operations on Monday.
