Officials at the Waupaca plant in Tell City, IN, are assessing damage from what's being called a small overnight fire.
Company officials say the fire started in a hydraulic pump in the plant's cooling system, and then spread to the roof.
Nobody was injured in the fire, and while damage is expected to be minimal, the plant has been closed during the cleanup process, and is expected to reopen on Tuesday.
Waupaca produces several types and grades of iron.
