Firefighters were sent to Dexter Chassis, at 2501 Jeanwood Drive on Elkhart’s northeast side, just before 5 a.m.

The city’s emergency dispatch center said workers had left the building because of the fire, and there were no reports of injuries.

A WSBT-TV photojournalist at the scene said the fire was quickly controlled and employees were back inside the building.

There was no additional information on the extent of the damage.
