Fire crews in Green Bay responded to a bit of a different call Monday morning, as they had to board a ship to battle a fire.
The Green Bay Metro Fire Department was called to the LaFarge dock off of 9th Street just after 6:00 AM on a report of a generator fire.
The ship’s crew were able to extinguish the blaze before fire crews arrived, but the firefighters did help ventilate the smoke and ensured the fire did not extend to other parts of the vessel.
No injuries were reported, as the Fire Department investigates what caused the fire to break out.
The U.S. Coast Guard and Port of Green Bay authorities were also notified about the fire.
