Four fire departments responding to a report of an explosion and fire at at the Chehalis Power Plant early this morning discovered one of three huge transformers burning.
The fire in the Chehalis Industrial Park at 1813 Bishop Road involved only the transformer at the gas-powered plant, Lewis County Fire District 6 Chief Bud Goodwill said this morning.
There were no injuries.
The 4:18 a.m. call drew assistance from the Chehalis Fire Department, Lewis County Fire District 5 and Riverside Fire Authority from Centralia.
Burning was one of three 20-foot tall transformers, Goodwillie said.
After they confirmed the high-voltage area was de-energized, they moved in and extinguished the blaze, Goodwillie said.
