Nearly 60 firefighters battled an early-morning blaze today at a Sprint warehouse in Warsaw.
The Warsaw Fire Department responded to an alarm at North Supply on Crystal Lake Road around 1:56 a.m. today.
When the fire crew arrived at the scene, smoke was visible from the building, which is a warehousing distribution center for Sprint. Telephone equipment is sent throughout the United States from the warehouse.
Once the initial fire crews arrived and saw the smoke coming from the building, more personnel was called to help fight the fire.
Volunteers and off-duty firefighters from the Warsaw Fire Department, and members of the Winona Lake Fire Department arrived at the scene and 15 minutes later more assistance was requested from Atwood and Leesburg fire departments.
The fire was under control by 3:21 a.m. after eight fire trucks and about 60 firefighters battled the blaze.
No injuries were reported, and the fire remains under investigation.
Multi-township EMS and the American Red Cross assisted at the scene.
Sprint officials were unavailable for comment this morning and there was no damage estimate.
