A fire, originally reported as being large, at Premier Packaging, 4219 S. U.S. 42, was out within about 45 minutes.

Although a second alarm had been sent, that call for assistance from other departments was called off.

Ivery Campbell, warehouse manager for Premier Packaging, estimated employees were able to reoccupy the building at about 10:30, 50 minutes after the fire was reported.

“It’s out and contained,” Campbell said. The fire occurred at one of two companies that share the building with Premier, Eco Development and PAX Corrugated Products.

Liberty Twp. firefighters were among those on the scene, but Monroe, whose assistance also had been requested, returned to its jurisdiction.
